Abstract | In this paper we describe a form of relative clause in Cantonese which has not previously been described. In a set of relative clauses elicited from children and adults in a production experiment, the head noun has the role of patient. We suggest that these are subject relative clauses involving a form of locative inversion. The aspect marker zyu6 is consistent with locative inversion as analysed by Mok (1992) and Pan (1996) in which an unaccusative construction is derived. |
