本讲座重新审视阿尔巴尼亚语、希腊语和德语中与关系从句中的非对称性现象相关的某些常见但很少被讨论的语料。在阿尔巴尼亚语和希腊语中，关系从句中的非对称性现象与中心词的双附缀的有无相关，而这极大地依赖于关系从句的（非）有定性；而在德语中，关系从句中的非对称性现象与关系从句标记“welch-”无法与带有属格的中心词共现相关。这三种语言中的关系从句中的非对称现象很难被统一，但是它们都清楚表明关系从句中的中心词提升分析无法解释跨语言的关系从句中的非对称性现象，这支持了Sauerland（1998）等的早期研究以及Cinque（2020）等的近期研究的观点。
In this talk she will revisit some known but little discussed data on certain asymmetries observed in relative clauses (RC) in Albanian, Greek and German. While these asymmetries are hardly unifiable — in Albanian and Greek they involve the (im)possibility of clitic doubling of the head of RC which crucially depends on its (in)definiteness, and in German the impossibility of the relativizer “welch-“ with a head noun bearing genitive case — they clearly show that the head-raising analysis of relative clauses cannot possibly account for the whole range of relative clauses found in the world’s languages, as also espoused both in classical work (Sauerland 1998 et seq.) and more recent research (Cinque 2020).
