This paper is concerned with strategies for relative clause formation, both in the universal and language-specific sense. It builds on the pioneering work of Keenan & Comrie (1977) and proposes some extensions to this work. The basic issues addressed here concern what exactly ‘case-coding’ strategies in relative clause formation are, why languages should use such strategies, and what form the strategies can take. Language-specific illustration is given from Modern Welsh, a language which exhibits some relativization strategies not discussed by Keenan and Comrie, but which nonetheless broadly supports their proposals
