The different Merge positions of the different types of relative clauses
Synopsis
A frequent, implicit, assumption is that the different types of relative clauses (nonrestrictive, restrictive, amount, kind-defining, infinitival and reduced participial relatives) are in one and the same language merged in one and the same position. Here evidence will be presented that their merger is actually at different heights of the nominal extended projection.
