Abstract:
This volume presents a cross-linguistic investigation of clausal
noun-modifying constructions in genetically varied languages of Eurasia.
Contrary to a common premise that, in any language, adnominal clauses that
share some features of relative clauses constitute a structurally distinct
construction, some languages of Eurasia exhibit a General Noun-Modifying
Clause Construction (GNMCC) -- a single construction covering a wide range of
semantic relations between the head noun and the clause. Through in-depth
examination of naturally-occurring and elicited data from Ainu, languages of
the Caucasus (e.g. Ingush, Georgian, Bezhta, Hinuq), Japanese, Korean,
Marathi, Nenets, Sino-Tibetan languages (e.g. Cantonese, Mandarin, Rawang),
and Turkic languages (e.g. Turkish, Sakha), the chapters discuss whether or
not the language in question exhibits a GNMCC and the range of noun
modification covered by such a construction. The findings afford us new facts,
new theoretical perspectives and the first step toward a more global
assessment of the possibilities for GNMCCs.
