Relativization in Kom

Abstract

The main strategy for clause subordination in Kom is in the use of the relative clause. One matrix clause can have more than three subordinate clauses embedded in it, all being relative clauses. This phenomenon warrants a need to study and describe the different strategies for relativization in Kom given that to the best of my knowledge, this aspect of the language has not been described It is obvious that this paper will not provide an exhaustive treatment of this important topic. I do hope however that it is going to serve as a launching pad for such an exhaustive study.
