Hebrew Relativization Fragment

@cite{keenan-comrie-1977} @cite{sichel-2014}

Two relative clause markers (discussed §1.3.2):

• Complementizer she- with gap (-case, covers SU/DO)
• Same she- with resumptive pronoun (+case, covers DO–OCOMP)

DO is shared between both constructions.

Two Types of Resumption (@cite{sichel-2014})

Hebrew has both bound and movement resumptive pronouns, though unlike Swahili they are not morphologically distinct. @cite{sichel-2014} shows:

• Optional resumption (direct objects): alternation between gap and resumptive. When resumption is optional, a resumptive pronoun has the distribution of a bound pronoun, and a gap is a movement trace. Weak crossover effects distinguish the two (example (6) in @cite{scott-2021}).

• Obligatory resumption (PPs): always a movement copy (no gap alternative). The resumptive pronoun oto shows reconstruction effects (example (7) in @cite{scott-2021}), indicating movement.

Data from @cite{keenan-comrie-1977} Table 1 and §1.3.2.

def Fragments.Hebrew.relSheGap : Core.RelClauseMarker

Complementizer she-. NP_rel is deleted (gap). Covers subject and direct object. E.g., "ha-ish [she-halakh _]" 'the-man [that-left _]'.

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Fragments.Hebrew.relSheResumptive : Core.RelClauseMarker

Complementizer she- with resumptive pronoun. Same complementizer introduces the RC, but NP_rel is a resumptive personal pronoun. Covers DO–OCOMP (DO shared with gap construction). E.g., "ha-ir [she-garti ba-h]" 'the-city [that-lived-I in-it]'.

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Fragments.Hebrew.relSheMovementResumptive : Core.RelClauseMarker

Complementizer she- with movement resumptive in PPs. Obligatory — the PP object cannot be a gap (no P-stranding in Hebrew). Shows reconstruction effects, indicating movement copy. @cite{sichel-2014}: "ha-ec she-hu tipes alav" 'the tree that he climbed on.it' — idiomatic reading preserved = reconstruction.

Equations

def Fragments.Hebrew.relSheBoundResumptive : Core.RelClauseMarker

Complementizer she- with bound resumptive for direct objects. Optional — alternates with gap. When used, behaves as a bound pronoun (no reconstruction, weak crossover sensitivity). @cite{sichel-2014}: "ze ha-yeled she-imo šelo ohevet oto" 'this is the boy who his mother loves him' — oto is bound.

def Fragments.Hebrew.relMarkers : List Core.RelClauseMarker

All Hebrew relative clause markers. The legacy relSheResumptive marker is retained for backward compatibility with @cite{keenan-comrie-1977}-level typology. The Sichel markers provide finer-grained two-type classification.

def Fragments.Hebrew.relMarkersSichel : List Core.RelClauseMarker

Sichel-refined markers distinguishing bound vs. movement resumption.
