The Importance of Relative Clauses

Relative clauses are very heavy. There's, you put here head final versus head initial. So for example, the woman that I gave a book to, let's just start with that one. We're not going to deal with whom. That's how we do it in English and in a lot of other head initial languages or predominantly head initial languages. In some, but not all head final languages, you actually sometimes see the complete opposite of that. It's like Chinese has that.
