ABSTRACT
The literature on relative clauses makes occasional reference to the fact that the Head internal to a (restrictive) relative clause is indefi nite.
For example, Browning (1987, 129-131) observes (also see Bianchi 1999, 43) that the trace within a restrictive relative clause is interpreted as indefi - nite, appearing in contexts that exhibit an indefi niteness restriction: The men that there were in the garden.. vs. *There were the men in the garden (cf. There were (some/many/three) men in the garden).
