Annotation

Referring back to J.F. Staal (1970: 'Performatives and token-reflexives'), T. offers five arguments in favor of the hypothesis that there are two performative verbs in the underlying structure of a sentence containing a non-restrictive relative clause and only one in the case of a sentence with a restrictive relative clause.
