Abstract

The study of relative clauses (RCs) in Sinitic has attracted considerable attention in typological literature, especially because of the exceedingly rare correlation of Verb-Object order and prenominal relatives (Tang 2006; Dryer 2013b). As to the structural differences of RCs within Sinitic, although previous studies have brought to light several key issues (e.g. Liu 2005), there is much work yet to be done in this area. Basing on data from a convenience sample of 44 Sinitic languages, in this paper we will try to sketch a typology of relativization in Sinitic languages according to two parameters, namely the position of the head and relativization strategies. Also, we will highlight some meaningful correlations and implications constraining diversity in the domain of relativization in Sinitic.

汉语关系分句的类型学:标题与相对化策略

汉语关系从句的研究在类型学文献中引起了相当大的关注，特别是因为动词-宾语顺序与名前关系的相关性极为罕见(Tang 2006;干燥器2013 b)。关于汉语中RCs的结构差异，虽然以前的研究已经揭示了几个关键问题(如Liu 2005)，但在这一领域还有很多工作要做。本文将基于44种汉语语言的便利样本数据，根据头部位置和相对化策略这两个参数，试图勾勒出汉语语言相对化的类型学。此外，我们将强调一些有意义的相关性和限制多样性的意义，在汉语的相对化领域。

期刊介绍： The Cahiers is an international linguistics journal whose mission is to publish new and original research on the analysis of languages of the Asian region, be they descriptive or theoretical. This clearly reflects the broad research domain of our laboratory : the Centre for Linguistic Research on East Asian Languages (CRLAO). The journal was created in 1977 by Viviane Alleton and Alain Peyraube and has been directed by three successive teams of editors, all professors based at the CRLAO in Paris. An Editorial Board, composed of scholars from around the world, assists in the reviewing process and in a consultative role.
