Laburpena

Free relative clauses can give rise to tautological structures, such as El que sabe, sabe (‘He who knows knows’). In this paper, two central questions are addressed: i) How can informative interpretations be obtained from tautological sentences? and ii) Why is the interpretation sensitive to word order? I will show that the interpretation of tautological relatives can be predicted in a straightforward way as the by-product of several factors: the informational status of the constituents, the lexical properties of the predicates, and the operation of general cognitive principles governing human communication.
