Abstract
The suffix that creates the subject participle for verbs is used on an auxiliary verb in nominal and existential relative clauses, thus showing that they are all modelled on that of the verb. It seems plausible to assume that the object participle is pre-eminently used for non-subjects. This is, however, not irrefutable; in structures labelled Başı-Bozuk construction and Focus-Locus construction the subject participle occurs although the head of the relative clause is not its subject. Adverbial phrases are relativised according to the model of object phrases. The section on various temporal aspects shows that a relative clause based on a compositional tense is formed by an auxiliary verb. Frequently used headless relatives are good candidates for lexicalization. Special attention is given to pseudo-relative clauses; despite their appearance these do not contain an relativised element.
