Abstract

Thanks to David E. Johnson, Geoffrey K. Pullum, and an anonymous LI referee for helpful comments on earlier versions of this article. ' I agree strongly with LS (pp. 698, 706), Safir (1984:608, n. 7, 1985:288, 1986:667), Higginbotham (1980: 702), and Cinque (1990:155), contra Chomsky (1982:93), that WCO effects are found in English restrictive relatives. As Safir (1984:608, n. 7) observes, Chomsky (1976:(100)-(101)) also seemed to accept the ungrammaticality assumed here. Note that Postal (1971:165, (17.(5)d), 166, (17.(7)d), 1973:103, (3a), 108, (9)-(10)) systematically marked restrictive relatives as manifesting WCO effects. 2 The observation that English nonrestrictive relatives fail to yield WCO effects was made earlier by Safir (1984:608, 1985:288, 1986:667) and Kuno (1988:241). Contrary but I now think mistaken judgments occur in
