초록
This paper introduces the Kalmyk language and examines the relative clauses of this language. As an SOV language, Kalmyk relative clauses exhibit common characteristics with those of Korean, but in some contexts they have similarities to those of English. For example, Kalmyk does not allow Internally-Headed Relative Clauses (IHRCs), which is a common characteristics of Korean, Japanese, and some other American Indian languages like Quechua. Once we decide the overall properties of Kalmyk relative clauses, we may be able to shed a new light on the general characteristics of relative clauses in natural languages. In particular, Kalmyk may provide a very good research resource for relative clause constructions because it belongs to Altaic languages while it also shows characteristics of SVO European languages like English.
Abstract
This paper introduces the Kalmyk language and examines the relative clauses of this language. As an SOV language, Kalmyk relative clauses exhibit common characteristics with those of Korean, but in some contexts they have similarities to those of English. For example, Kalmyk does not allow Internally-Headed Relative Clauses (IHRCs), which is a common characteristics of Korean, Japanese, and some other American Indian languages like Quechua. Once we decide the overall properties of Kalmyk relative clauses, we may be able to shed a new light on the general characteristics of relative clauses in natural languages. In particular, Kalmyk may provide a very good research resource for relative clause constructions because it belongs to Altaic languages while it also shows characteristics of SVO European languages like English.
