The article presents a constructional analysis of a subgroup of Czech relative clauses (namely, those with the absolutive relativizer co), addressing specifically the question of the presence vs absence of the accusative resumptive pronoun in these clauses. Based on an earlier analysis of relevant corpus data concerning the differences in distribution (Fried, 2010), we now concentrate on the constructional status of these patterns, with partial reference to other subtypes of the absolutive relative clauses. Using the tools of Construction Grammar and exploring the notion of constructional maps, we propose organizing these patterns in a network of related constructions with shared as well as distinct characteristics; the network is further mapped onto a particular functional space. One of the advantages of such a representation consists in its ability to include minority configurations, transitions from one pattern to another, and, in general, any areas of categorial fluidity.

The paper focuses on relative clauses introduced by jak ‘how’ in spoken Czech, relying on corpus data. It argues that these clauses, in contrast to relative clauses introduced by co ‘what’, are functionally specialized, in that they are based on propositions that form a part of the shared knowledge of the speaker and their interlocutor(s), i.e., they have what could be described as a recognitional function. This is supported mainly with arguments based on the distribution of determiners of the head noun, the use of verbal mood and tense in co- and jak-clauses, and the use of recognitional demonstratives in co- and jak-clauses. Previous claims about the use of resumptive pronouns in co- and jak-clauses, based on written language, are revised, and it is illustrated that most of the previous generalizations do not square well with the data from spoken Czech.
