Relative clauses in languages of the Americas
About this book
"The present volume focuses on two tasks: the first deals with the discussion of functional principles related to relative clause formation: diachrony and paths of grammaticalization, simplicity vs. complexity, and formalization of rules to capture semantic-syntactic correlations. The second provides a typological overview of relative clauses in nine different languages going from north to south in the Americas."--P. [4] of cover.
