ABSTRACT
In Cinque (in preparation) (see Cinque 2008b for a preliminary presentation) it is proposed that the di erent types of relative constructions found across languages (externally headed post-nominal, externally headed prenominal, internally headed, double-headed, ‘headless’ (or ‘free’), correlative, and ‘adjoined’ or extraposed) derive from one and the same structure, whether they involve a raising or a matching derivation.
