| Research Abstract |
This project investigated the syntax of Root Embedded Clauses (RECs) and revealed what structures they have. In many cases of Japanese RECs, so called light nouns are used and the RECs have a complement structure analogous to relative clauses. In contrast, Dagaare, which has not developed a light noun system while it has a full-fledged noun class system, lacks the type of RECs observed in Japanese.
