- Title
Towards a More Articulated Typology of Internally Headed Relative Constructions: The Semantics Connection.
- Authors
Grosu, Alexander
- Abstract
This article outlines the shortcomings found in two well-known syntax-based typologies of internally headed relative constructions (IHRCs), and demonstrates the benefits of a typology that relies on the syntax-semantics interface and takes semantics seriously into account. It is argued that the latter approach yields a more revealing and empirically superior typology of IHRCs.
