- Abstract
We point out the differences between the Russian conjunctions i 'and', a and no 'but' as regards their ability to conjoin relative clauses: a is unacceptable if relativisation takes place across-the-board, but is grammatical if the second conjunct contains a resumptive pronoun in the trace position. We explain the contrast by suggesting that a requires its conjuncts to be syntactically as close to full-fledged predications as possible.
