Although extensive work has been done on sister Mabia languages on this topic, little can be said of same in relation to Kusaal. This paper gives a comprehensive discussion on the various elements, functions, and formations of Kusaal relative clauses and, among other things, shows that the language has both in-situ internally-headed relative clauses and left-headed internally-headed relative clauses (Hiraiwa et al. 2017). This is carried out with data collected on fieldwork, in addition to my own native speaker intuitions.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Ghana Journal of Linguistics}, author={Abubakari, Hasiyatu}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={27–62} }
