Persian  RCs are unbounded dependency constructions, all  containing the invariant complementizer ''ke''. They  also have gaps or resumptive pronouns (RPs),  licensed by a higher structure. In some positions  only gaps are allowed and in some position only RPs.  There are also some positions where both gaps and  RPs are allowed. The proposed analysis shows that  despite distributional differences between gaps and  RPs in Persian RCs, the two show striking  similarities. Examples from coordinate structures,  parasitic gaps, island constraints, and crossover  phenomena provide support in respect of this  similarity. Some existing transformational analyses  of Persian RCs are reviewed and their shortcomings  highlighted. Then, in the constraint-based framework  of HPSG, an analysis is proposed that can handle the  dependency and the pattern of distribution of gaps  and RPs in Persian RCs with a single mechanism which  is easily extendable to other types of Persian UDCs,  e.g., wh-interrogatives and free relatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843354431\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn Analysis of Persian Relative Clause Constructions in Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843354431","offer_id":39470061453405,"sku":"9783843354431","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/979420b6-bfdf-4dc0-9031-ef14c6e41072.jpg?v=1758175101","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/persian-relative-clauses-in-hpsg-von-mehran-a-taghvaipour","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
