On the Alleged Unipartite Relatives in Semitic research-article Na’ama Pat-El Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft, Jahrgang 170 (2020), Ausgabe 2, Seite 279 - 288 In a recent paper, Cohen (2018) suggested that nominal sentences without overt subjects are a regular and common part of Semitic grammar. More specifically, he suggested that some arguments in Semitic relative clauses are gapped, namely are missing on a regular basis. This, he argued, is especially common in relative clauses where the predicate is a prepositional phrase. In the current paper, I argue that relative clauses exhibit the same syntax as main clauses. I also provide additional evidence from Syriac and Assyrian Akkadian that prepositional phrases following a relative marker are phrasal, not clausal.
