The project INT aims at a clarification of the relationship between different functional types of relative clauses. Extensive and detailed investigations of the interaction of relative clauses with various intensional operations carried out during the first period of funding have led the project to a focus on the following areas of phenomena, which have proved to be particularly instructive: Modalized relative clauses in unspecific indefinites (as in The company is looking for an engineer who ought to be fluent in English) display systematic connections between restrictive and appositive readings. With amount relatives, as particularly prominent in English (We will never be able to drink the champagne they spilt last night) a connection can be made with comparative constructions (Never will the amount of champagne we are able to drink be the amount of champagne they spilt last night). In some environments e.g., concealed exlamatives (Its amazing the people you meet at these conferences) relative clauses, which are normally optional, turn out to be essential for the grammaticality of a construction (Licensing by modification).The above-mentioned constructions form the core area covered by the semantic analyses to be developed within the project. The theoretical framework will be provided by type-driven interpretation, which has been particularly fruitful for modal and nominal semantics.

INT项目旨在澄清关系从句不同功能类型之间的关系。在第一个供资期间，对关系从句与各种内涵操作的相互作用进行了广泛和详细的调查，使该项目侧重于以下领域的现象，这些现象已被证明特别有启发性：不定式中的情态关系从句（如公司正在寻找一个英语流利的工程师）显示限制性阅读和同位阅读之间的系统联系。在英语中特别突出的数量关系词（We will never be able to drink the香槟they spilt last night）可以与比较结构（Never will the amount of香槟we are able to drink be the amount of香槟they spilt last night）联系起来。在某些环境中，例如，隐藏感叹句（It amazing the people you meet at these meetings）关系分句通常是可选的，结果证明对构式（Licensing by modification）的语法性至关重要。上述构式构成了本项目中语义分析的核心领域。理论框架将提供类型驱动的解释，这是特别富有成效的模态和名词语义。
