Cortadora relative clauses: A comparative analysis between Spanish, Portuguese and French

This paper focuses on cortadora relative clauses – or non-pronominal relative clauses –, a special type of relativization registered in Rio de la Plata Spanish varieties, in which the preposition is deleted or ‘chopped’ (‘cortada’). This phenomenon is an example of preposition optionality and has be...
