Cleft constructions #

As shown in the page about the comp:cleft relation, the cleft constructions are analysed with a comp:cleft relation going from the head of the main sentence to the head of the complement.

With qui and que direct object, the cleft clause is analysed as a relative clause. in particular, qui and que are analysed as relative pronouns (PRON).
