On the claim that noun complement clauses are relative clauses
Keyword(s):
A number of recent papers (Kayne 2008, 2010, Arsenijević 2009, Haegeman 2012, among others) have argued that so-called noun complement clauses should be analyzed as a type of relative clause. In this paper I provide evidence from a number of languages that presents some challenges to any strong claim that a relative clause strategy for noun complement clauses is universal. Evidence comes from Basque, Bulgarian, Durban Zulu, English, Finnish and Swedish, and includes data involving complementizer choice, complementizer-drop and subject agreement patterns.
