Abstract: : The article discusses three phenomena (relative clause extraposition, stacking and weak island sensitivity) which are incompatible with bona fide “raising ” relatives, like the amount relatives studied by Carlson (1977), but not with ordinary restrictive relatives. They thus appear to provide clear evidence that a “matching ” derivation of relative clauses is needed in addition to the “raising ” one.
