2016) </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;" xml:lang="en-us">. In his
study, Kubus describes various relativization strategies (i.e. internally
headed, externally headed and free relatives) and identifies non-manual (i.e.
squint, brow raise or slight-headshake) and occasionally additional manual
relativizers (i.e. clause initial/final index ( <span>ix </span>), <span>ayni </span> ‘same’ or different
combinations of them). We outline possible reasons for the presence of these
competing relative markers and discuss whether the above-mentioned non-manuals
should be analyzed as prosodic/pragmatic or syntactic markers. We suggest that
the nature of relative clauses in TİD can best be understood at the level of
discourse. </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’;"> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}
