[Lingtyp] IHRCs and verb-final order

[Juergen Bohnemeyer]

Much appreciated, Adam!

Luis in the meantime discovered the highly relevant 1990 Stanford dissertation by Christopher Culy:

Culy, C. D. (1990). The syntax and semantics of internally headed relative clauses. Doctoral dissertation, Stanford University.

This work offers treatments of IHRCs in HPSG, LFG, and GB, but also contains a chapter on the typology of IHRCs with some interesting ideas and observations.

And Lehmann (1984: 109-122, 177-181, 386-389) offers a detailed survey, pointing out in particular the similarities and affinity between IHRCs and adjoined RCs, both relying on ‘implicit attribution’.

Dear Juergen,

In 2021 I published a paper on finite clausal nominalizations in Tuparí (https://www.glossa-journal.org/article/id/5457/). These clausal nominalizations can have multiple interpretations, including that of an IHRC. And Tuparí VPs are rigidly verb-final.

Peter Cole's 1987 paper (https://www.jstor.org/stable/4047634) relates the verb-finality of Quechua clauses to the availability of IHRCs in the language.

Best,
Adam
