ALVAREZ GARCIA, Esther. The classification of relative clauses: limits, solutions and a new proposal. Nueva rev. filol. hisp. [online]. 2021, vol.69, n.2, pp.499-540.  Epub 06-Sep-2021. ISSN 2448-6558.  https://doi.org/10.24201/nrfh.v69i2.3745.

This paper reviews the principal way in which relative clauses have been classified in the Hispanic world with the purpose of establishing possible equivalences beetween them. Mention is also made of the principal problems the different proposals present and which are frequently a consequence of including only prototypical examples in any given classification and thereby leaving aside a wide variety of relative constructions. Finally, we propose our own classification of relative clauses with the aim of solving the problems previously presented.

Palabras llave : relative clauses; classification of relative clauses; Spanish grammar; relative constructions; linguistic historiography.
