[Lingtyp] IHRCs and verb-final order

[Zygmunt Frajzyngier]

Juergen,

I believe that Saeko Ogihara’s 2009 University of Colorado dissertation Verb final typology  has a chapter on relative clauses,

All best,

Zygmunt

Subject: [Lingtyp] IHRCs and verb-final order
Dear all – A query on behalf of an advisee, Luis Ulloa: It has been known since at least Keenan (1985)* that internally-headed relative clauses (IHRCs) occur predominantly or exclusively in verb-final languages. We are looking for any additional literature that has probed into this apparent nexus between IHRCs and verb-final basic order. Thanks! – Juergen

(* Thanks to Matthew Dryer for pointing me to Keenan’s chapter. I was sure I had read about the pattern, but couldn’t remember where.)
