@article{Youssef_2014, title={The Adjectival Relative Construction in Egyptian Arabic}, volume={67}, url={https://bop.unibe.ch/linguistik-online/article/view/1603}, DOI={10.13092/lo.67.1603}, abstractNote={The present paper investigates a type of broad-subject construction in Egyptian Arabic in which an adjective or participial structurally qualifies the head noun (or subject) but logically qualifies a subsequent noun, as in <em>ir-raagil [il-ħilwiin banaat-u]</em> ’the man the beautiful.PL his daughters’. This Adjectival Relative Construction is interesting in that it incorporates properties of both relative clauses and adjectival phrases. I evaluate the main analytical approaches in the literature and conclude that it must be analyzed as a hybrid type of nominal modifier that has adjectival and relative characteristics. Binding to the head noun is accomplished through a semantically motivated resumptive pronoun.}, number={5}, journal={Linguistik Online}, author={Youssef, Islam}, year={2014}, month={Sep.} }
