Relative clauses play a hugely important role in analysing the
structure of sentences. This book provides the first evidence that
a unified analysis of the different types of relative clauses is
possible - a step forward in our understanding. Using careful
analyses of a wide range of languages, Cinque argues that the
relative clause types can all be derived from a single,
double-headed, structure. He also presents evidence that
restrictive, maximalizing, ('integrated') non-restrictive,
kind-defining, infinitival and participial RCs merge at different
heights of the nominal extended projection. This book provides an
elegant generalization about the structure of all relatives.
Theoretically profound and empirically rich, it promises to
radically alter the way we think about this subject for years to
come.
