I would appreciate references to LFG & HPSG work on cleft &
pseudocleft constructions and, especially, the related construction
found in many languages, including Indonesian:
Pakaian yang saya beli.
clothes REL I buy
"It was the clothes that I bought."
Sneddon's Indonesian grammar, from which this example is taken, calls
these "identifying clauses."
thanks,
Steve
