Abstract:

This book presents a comparative semantic analysis of the internally headed
relative clause (IHRC) construction in the framework of Combinatory Categorial
Grammar (CCG) based on a sample of a dozen languages. There are two possible
CCG analyses of IHRCs, both of which are attested in the data. One of them
accounts for material in the head phrase with scope over the whole IHRC
(determiners, anaphoric demonstratives, etc.) and for relative pronouns. The
other derivation accounts for restrictions on the grammatical relation of the
head within the IHRC, for null-headed IHRCs, for the extraposed IHRC
construction, and for IHRCs with incorporated heads. The book gives new
explanations for the definiteness restriction and for the quantifier
restriction on heads, for the Element Constraint, for the restriction against
heads embedded in other IHRCs, and for the restriction against wh-words in or
extracted from IHRCs.

John Enrico did lengthy fieldwork on the three dialects of Haida in Canada and
Alaska from the 1970s to the 1990s. He is the author of a number of books and
articles on the language.
