https://www.bilketa.eus/ark:/27020/Artxiker-00000054Langues et civilisations à tradition orale (CNRS)Rebuschi, Georges (1949-2024)IKER, artxibo-000000542006Ordinary Wh-Free Relative clauses are typically correlative protases, resumed by a pronoun in the apodosis to their right. They sit in the spec. of a Topic head in the left periphery or CP domain of the complex sentence. Their internal structure is shown not be always the same: when they contain a single wh- word, that item occupies another Spec,TopP position, but when there are two of them, they sit in the Spec. of two contiguous QuantifierPs. A lesser known structure is next described, in which a non-topical Wh-FR occurs within an “exotic” phrase which consists of that clause, the conjunction eta and a demonstrative pronoun: those structures are shown not to be the “source” DP of complex correlative sentences, but rather to be CPs with a predicate gap. Thus, Northern Basque standard correlative FRs are always base-generated, whereas the second type suggests a situation which is the mirror image of Bhatt's (2003) derivation of Hindi correlatives.https://artxiker.ccsd.cnrs.fr/artxibo-00000054https://artxiker.ccsd.cnrs.fr/artxibo-00000054v1/file/2006_A_New_Look.pdfChapitre de livre | Liburu zatiavignette : https://www.bilketa.eus/in/rest/Thumb/image?id=ark:/27020/Artxiker-00000054&mat=articleNumengArchive ouverte HAL | HAL artxibo irekiaWh-ConstructionsCorrelative sentencesLeft-periphery of clausesMorfosintaxiaMorphosyntaxeA New look at Northern Basque Wh-Free Relative Clauses
