Research on unbounded dependency constructions (UDCs) has focused mainly on the properties that are shared by all UDCs, but a satisfactory theory of syntax also needs to capture the properties that distinguish specific UDCs and the properties that are shared by some but not all of them. Three Welsh unbounded dependency constructions – wh-interrogatives, free relatives, and cleft sentences – are of interest here because they show a challenging array of similarities and the differences. However, given a slightly expanded hierarchy of phrase types, HPSG can capture both the similarities and the differences in this area.
Order domains were originally proposed to deal with constituent order, but have recently been concerned with more than just linearization. This paper seeks to contribute to this discussion by considering the possibility of analysing word forms in terms of order domains. We focus on the distribution of the English relative and interrogative pronouns who and whom. It is shown that a small number of constraints can accommodate the seemingly complex body of data. In particular, a linearization-based constraint can provide a straightforward account for the quite puzzling distribution which who and whom show in one of the register types.
In der diachronen Entwicklung des Deutschen lassen sich mehrere Veränderungen hinsichtlich des Relativpronomens beobachten. Im Alt- und Mittelhochdeutschen (im folgenden AHD und MHD) war die sog. "Kasusattraktion" möglich, d.h. das Relativpronomen konnte einen vom Matrixsatz geforderten Kasus tragen, obwohl die Verhältnisse im Relativsatz einen anderen Kasus erfordert hätten. Zudem konnte im AHD und MHD das Relativpronomen im Gegensatz zum Neuhochdeutschen (im folgenden NHD) ganz fehlen.
