Abstract

Free relative clauses (henceforth, FRs) are embedded clauses with a gap in an argument or adjunct position and a clause initial whelement. The FRs I will focus on in this paper are always tensed and occur in an argument or adjunct position, with a distribution that looks like the distribution of DPs. Some examples of these FRs are given in (1), together with the sentences resulting from replacing the FRs with DPs.
