Der Relativsatzzyklus: Zur Begründung der Variation in Relativsätzen des Italienischen und Portugiesischen

该项目对意大利语和葡萄牙语中的限制性关系从句和同位关系从句进行了共时和历时分析。一般认为关系从句要么由代词引导，要么由补语引导。然而，之前的一个项目的结果表明，这种二分法是不能维持的。意大利语和葡萄牙语表现出不同形式的关系词，具有不同的特征配置和句法属性。鉴于《罗曼蒂克》中的相对完形词已经从代词wh形式发展而来，这种可变性表明存在一个语法化循环，其阶段仍有待定义。项目ROM旨在识别这些阶段，并将根据历史数据进行识别。我们首先将重点放在结构现象的分析上，如词缀重叠、一致补足和指示+补足结构以及它们在相对循环的连续步骤中的层次性；然后我们将考察意大利语和葡萄牙语之间的异同，以及限制关系从句和同位关系从句在相对循环阶段的异同。

The project ROM deals with the synchronic and diachronic analysis of restrictive and appositive relative clauses in Italian and Portuguese. It is generally assumed that relative clauses are either introduced by pronouns or by complementizers. However, the results of a previous project have shown that this dichotomy cannot be maintained.Varieties of Italian and Portuguese exhibit different forms of relativizers with distinct feature configurations and syntactic properties. Given the fact that relative complementizers in Romance have developed out of pronominal wh-forms, this variability points towards the existence of a grammaticalization cycle whose stages still have to be defined.The project ROM aims at identifying these stages and will do so on the basis of historical data. We will first focus on the analysis of structural phenomena like clitic doubling, agreeing complementizers and demonstrative + complementizer constructions and their layering as successive steps of the relative cycle; then we will investigate the similarities and differences between Italian and Portuguese and between restrictive and appositive relative clauses with respect to the stages of the relative cycle.
