This paper discusses relative clauses (RCs) in Marori,showing that this language unusually has almost all of relative clausetypes, from headed/headless, externally/internally headed,single-/double-headed, to pre-/post-head, to attached/detachedRCs. Special attention is given to internally headed relative clauses(IHRC). It is argued that Marori IHRCs are of the restrictive ornon-maximalising type, which accounts for certain intriguingproperties, such as their indefiniteness constraints and thepossibility for RC stacking.
