Die linke Peripherie von Relativsätzen

LIP项目的主要目的是分析关系从句左边缘的结构。因此，我们将重点研究关系从句引语成分的特点，以及关系从句引语成分与中心名词之间的相互作用。在第一个阶段中，我们关注了1)w-/d-关系代词和关系补足语在德语方言中的分布，以及2)一致(错误)在(I)中心名词，(Ii)引入关系从句的成分和(Iii)关系从句内的限定动词之间的匹配。此外，我们还发现，在方言中，关系从句通常由关系完成语(wo/was)引入，关系操作符可以分别由间隙、关系代词或恢复代词来表示。当考虑到自由关系时，除了wh-rp之外，我们还可以观察到一个有趣的关联：D-关系代词只能与关系从句特有的补足成分组合在一起，而What关系代词只能与关系从句特有的补足成分组合在一起。在第二阶段中，我们的目标是进一步系统地阐述关系操作符和关系补足成分之间的相互作用，考察这些相互作用的具体结构。此外，我们将通过类型学组件来扩展我们的关注点。这意味着我们将进一步考察出现在关系从句左边缘的词汇成分，以找出它们可以出现在哪种组合中(S)，即+/-关系代词(d-vs.wh-代词)、+/-关系补足语。我们将学习的语言包括德语、波兰语、意大利语和英语。在这方面，我们的目标是与ROM和TYP项目合作。此外，与通常被认为在结构上相同或(非常)相似的其他结构(如分裂和补语从句)的比较，应该有助于了解关系从句的结构属性，例如关于移动的不透明条件、约束可能性等。本项目的另一个重点是与中心名词的相互作用：除了一致现象之外，我们还将考察语义效果，即与`共同同意的成分作为反身代词和所有格代词的约束/共指。

The primary aim of the project LIP is to provide an analysis of the structure of the left periphery of relative clauses. Thereby, we will focus on the characteristics of relative clause introducing elements, as well as on the interactions between the latter and the head noun. Within the first period we were concerned with 1) the distribution of w-/d-relative pronouns and relative complementizers in German dialects as well as with 2) agreement (mis)matches between (i) the head noun, (ii) the element that introduces the relative clause and (iii), the finite verb within the relative clause. Besides, we were able to show that in dialects relative clauses are generally introduced by a relative complementizer (wo/was) and that the relative operator can either be represented by a gap, a relative pronoun or by a resumptive pronoun, respectively. When one takes free relatives into account which in addition to a wh-RP often allow for the complementizer dass, an interesting correlation can be observed: d-relative pronouns can only be combined with complementizers that are characteristic/specific for relative clauses, whereas whrelative pronouns can only be combined with complementizers that are not specific for relative clauses.Within the second period we aim to further elaborate on the interactions between relative operators and relative complementizers in a systematic way, investigating the specific structure of these interactions. Furthermore, we will extend our focus by a typological component. This means we will further examine lexical elements occurring at the left periphery of relative clauses in order to find out in which combination(s) they can occur, i.e., +/- relative pronoun (d- vs. wh-pronoun), +/- relative complementizer. The languages we will look at are (inter alia) German, Polish, Italian, and English. In this regard we aim to cooperate with the projects ROM and TYP. Additionally, the comparison with other constructions (as clefts and complement clauses) that are often regarded as structurally identical or (very) similar, should shed some light on the structural properties of relative clauses, e.g. regarding opacity conditions on movement, binding possibilities etc. Another focus of the project is the interaction with the head noun: next to agreement phenomena we will also look at semantic effects, namely binding/coreference with `co-agreeing elements as reflexive and possessive pronouns.
