Popis: It is known that Basque is a non-Indo-European language, and that Romance and Slavic languages are Indo-European. Relative clauses are one of the aspects in which the Basque language has best preserved its non-Indo-European nature. In this paper, we focus on reduced relative clauses, i.e. with participle, which stress the uniqueness of Basque (for example, in the left-branching structure of its relative clauses as something typical of many non-Indo-European languages). The characteristics that Basque shares with the two other researched languages (Spanish and Czech) regarding reduced relative clauses are scarce.
