“…1 Many recent studies of correlative constructions have been devoted to a specific subclass of complex correlative sentences, henceforth CCSs, which are well-kown in the ancient Indo-European languages (Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, Hittite) -see e.g. Haudry (1973) for an overwiew -and are still attested in modern Indo-European languages: the Slavic languages (Izvorski 1996, Boškovič 1997, andCitko, this volume) or Hindi (Srivastav 1991, Dayal 1996, Bhatt 2003, but also in languages that belong to quite distinct phyla such as Bambara (Zribi-Hertz & Hanne 1995), Burushaski (Tiffou & Patry 1995), Hungarian (Lipták 2000(Lipták , 2005, and Tibetan (Cable 2005, this volume). This subclass of CCSs is characterised by a left-peripheral relative clause or protasis> linked to a (possibly phonetically unrealised) pronominal correlate in the main clause that follows it, also known as the apodosis.…”

Relative correlatives in Northern Basque are more restricted than in some other languages. First, they are stylistically marked as highly rhetorical, second, they only impart a generic reading, and thus do not function like ordinary restrictive correlatives as in e.g. Hindi. This paper, which is mainly descriptive, will be concerned with the syntactic differences that help distinguish between correlative relatives and other non-root clauses with and without a wh-item: embedded questions, appositive relatives, and indefinite free relatives, semifree relatives, conditional and unconditional protases. Hitherto unnoticed examples are provided which show how the close semantic connection between the various types of subordinated clauses examined here have triggered some interesting overlaps in the history of the language.
