Highly polysynthetic languages tend to have fully nominalized relative clauses and no relative pronouns, while other typologically diverse languages tend to have relative clauses which are similar to main or independent clauses. Languages of the Americas, with their rich genetic diversity, have all been under the influence of European languages, whether Spanish, English or Portuguese, a situation that may be expected to have influenced their grammatical patterns. The present volume focuses on two tasks: The first deals with the discussion of functional principles related to relative clause formation: diachrony and paths of grammaticalization, simplicity vs. complexity, and formalization of rules to capture semantic-syntactic correlations. The second provides a typological overview of relative clauses in nine different languages going from north to south in the Americas. 410 0$aTypological Studies in Language 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xRelative clauses 606 $aComplexity (Linguistics) 607 $aAmerica$xLanguages$xResearch$xHistory 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xRelative clauses. 615 0$aComplexity (Linguistics) 676 $a497 686 $aEE 2050$2rvk 701 $aComrie$b Bernard$f1947-$0152014 701 $aEstrada Ferna?ndez$b Zarina$01801372 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963289903321 996 $aRelative clauses in languages of the Americas$94346548 997 $aUNINA
