The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that influence the choice between English relativizers which and that. This is a new approach to the presence/absence of relativizers in English relative constructions. Based on spoken and written data of modern American English from Corpus of Contemporary American English, three kinds of relative clauses, subject relative clauses, object relative clauses, and passive relative clauses, containing which and that were examined to investigate the overt relativizer variation. The corpus analyses show that structure of subjects in object relative clauses, antecedents in subject/object relative clauses and verb types in passive relative clauses can affect the choice between which and that. However, results suggest that the length of the Head NP in object relative clauses may not affect the relativizer variation. (Pusan National University)
