IntroductionIntroductionClassification of relative clauses
semantics: restrictiveness vs. non-restrictiveness
function: attributive vs. non-attributiveformation types:
RC coding strategies (relative position; nominalization, etc.)coding of head N’s function in RC (cf. Comrie 1981)
internally headed RC pronoun-retention (aka ‘echoing’/ ‘resumptive’ pronoun in RC) relative pronoun no overt indication

Slavic RCsrelative pronoun strategy (frequent in European lgs):
e.g. kotoryj (R) & its equivalents in other languages
absolutive relativizer + personal pronoun (frequent in non-
European lgs):e.g. deto (Blg), što (Mac), ki (Slovene), ieže (OCS)
što (BR, R?)
co (Cz, P?), kiž/kenž (U/LSorb)
-- not well described or incorporated in RC family4

In this talk…In this talk…Summarize the absolutive pattern in Czech:
(based on qualitative & frequency-based quantitative evidence, Fried 2011)
corpus-based description of its properties & distributionrelationship to který-RCs within the same functional
space, capturing the dynamic/fluid aspects of the pattern
Sketch a (sample) constructional analysis (e.g. Fillmore 1989, Fried & Östman 2004)
Revisit questions for investigating the absolutive patterns in other Slavic languages

relatively low on accessibility hierarchy relatively less explicit

A “non-standard” variant of A “non-standard” variant of relative pronounrelative pronoun????
Relative clauses with co:
absolutive, non-declineable relativizer copersonal pronoun to indicate head N’s grammatical
function in RC; agrees with head N in number/genderoften interchangeable with kterýtypologically (‘pronoun retention pattern’, Comrie 1981):
relatively high on accessibility hierarchy relatively more explicit
lots of unanswered questions about their properties in Slavic…

What to do next?What to do next?Absolutive relativization in Slavic
e.g. deto (Blg), što (Mac), ki (Slovene), ieže (OCS)
što (BR, R?)
co (Cz, P?), kiž/kenž (U/LSorb)
existing commentary: colloquial/non-standard; resumptive pronoun “optional” in non-NOM function,
BUT: szczęśliwy ten wojak, co on domu przyjdzie ‘happy is the soldier thatCO [he] comes
home’ (Rospond 1971)
