Abstract The Relative Pronoun strategy is commonly used for relativization in European languages such as English – for example: The woman [ who won the lottery ] is my neighbour. In this strategy the head nominal (here the woman) is indicated inside the relative clause by a clause-initial pronominal element (the relative pronoun, here who). The Relative Pronoun strategy has been characterized as an exclusively European areal feature (e.g. Comrie 1998). This article describes this strategy in more detail, as well as previous accounts of its distribution, and goes on to demonstrate that the same strategy is also found in Nama, a Papuan language of southern New Guinea.

关系代词策略

摘要 关系代词策略常用于英语等欧洲语言的关系化——例如:[赢得彩票的]女人是我的邻居。在这个策略中,主谓词(这里是女人)在关系从句内由一个从句开头的代词元素(关系代词,这里是 who)表示。关系代词策略已被定性为欧洲独有的区域特征(例如 Comrie 1998)。本文更详细地描述了此策略,以及之前对其分布的描述,并继续证明在新几内亚南部的巴布亚语 Nama 中也发现了相同的策略。
