Abstract

This paper describes the transparent free relative construction as a variant of the free relative construction. Four analyses are described, viz. the backward deletion analysis, the shared structure analysis, the standard analysis and the parenthetical analysis. It is demonstrated that of these analyses the parenthetical analysis is the superior one.
