9780282355579: The Syntax of the Relative Pronoun and Its Cognates

Synopsis

This book explores the relationship between the relative and demonstrative pronouns in various languages. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, with chapters devoted to elliptical uses of the relative pronoun, repetition of the antecedent, and the use of the direct construction instead of the relative. The book also discusses the historical and literary context of the relative pronoun, and its significance in different languages. The author argues that the relative pronoun is a key to understanding the structure of language, and that its study can shed light on the history and development of human thought.
