Copy raising

Frantz:

In [[:category: syntax|syntax]], '''copy raising''' is a kind of [[raising]] construction in which the raised element leaves a [[coreferential]] "copy" pronoun in the [[subordinate clause]].
Alternatively, the "copy" may appear in the matrix clause (as evidenced by verb agreement, for example) with the "copied" nominal remaining in the complement; see Blackfoot example.

===Examples===
*English ''Richard seems as if he won.'' (Compare with ordinary raising: ''Richard seems to have won.'')
*Modern Greek ''I kopéles fén-onde na févgh-un.'' [the girls seem-3PL that leave-3PL] 'The girls seem to be leaving.'

*Blackfoot "Nitsíksstatawa kááhkanistahsi nohkówa." [1-want-3s 2-might-tell-3s 1-son-3s] "I want you to tell my son." (Compare without the raising: "Nitsíksstaa kááhkanistahsi nohkówa." [1-want 2-might-tell-3s 1-son-3s])
