Relative clauses in Romance

Carlo Cecchetto
Caterina Donati

Résumé

Relative clauses are subordinate clauses acting as nominal modifiers. They can be finite or non-finite in Romance, with finite relative clauses largely more productive and widespread across varieties. Relative clauses contain an empty position, that can correspond to a gap (as in most standard varieties) or to a resumptive pronoun, as in Romanian and in many substandard varieties. In most Romance languages, relative clauses are introduced either by the invariant element che/que or by some relative pronoun (il quale/lequel/el cual…) depending on the grammatical function of the variable it refers to.
