Head Position and Internally Headed Relative Clauses.
Basilico, David
Language, v72 n3 p498-533 Sep 1996
Examines "Head Movement" in internally headed relative clauses (IHRCs). The article shows that in some cases, head movement to an external position need not take place and demonstrates that this movement of the head to a sentence-internal position results from the quantificational nature of IHRCs and Diesing's mapping hypothesis (1990, 1992).
