Relative Clauses in Mandarin, Cantonese, and Suzhou Chinese

摘要：

There are two accounts for the fact that the head noun is interpreted as an argument in a relative clause (RC): promotion (the head noun moves out of the RC) and matching (the head noun is directly merged with the RC and an operator identifies the head noun with the gap in the RC). Reconstruction effects (e.g. pronominal binding in (1)) suggest that Mandarin relativization involves movement of the head noun (Aoun and Li 2003). We support this conclusion with data from Mandarin, Cantonese, and Suzhou Chinese.
