本論文從田調語言學和衍生句法學的角度，研究尖石地區賽考利克泰雅語的關係子句。帶有連繫詞ka□的關係子句和不帶有連繫詞ka□的關係子句，證明為兩種不同的關係子句。前者結構上為「外在型關係子句」，語意上為「限制性關係子句」；而後者結構上為「內在型關係子句」，語意上為「非限制性關係子句」。這項區別可以由詞序、接應代詞、時間狀語和專有名詞等證據支持。連繫詞ka□也證明為補語標記，並非關係代名詞或是格位標記。
基於泰雅語的外在型關係子句，我們主張傳統的「標準分析法」較優於Kayne(1994)所提出的「非對稱分析法」。雖然非對稱分析法可以衍生各種線性次序，但是這種分析不僅會造成過度衍生的現象，更無法解釋賽考利克泰雅語中補語標記的省略。相反地，標準分析法不但沒有這些問題，還能一致性地解釋泰雅語、漢語和英語中外在型關係子句的詞組結構。此外，泰雅語的外在型關係子句呈現出孤島效應上的「論元-附加語不對稱」，以及關係化上的「主賓語不對稱」，這些現象更加支持標準分析法的分析。
至於泰雅語的內在型關係子句，因為句法上的分佈不相同，所以並不能分析為狀語子句。就孤島效應而論，名前內在型關係子句和名後內在型關係子句在句法上有其不同：前者的中心名詞移位至補語詞組的指示語位置，檢驗時間屬性和關係化屬性；後者的中心名詞則基底衍生在補語詞組的指示語位置。然而，不論名前名後，內在型關係子句都是非限制性關係子句。

This thesis investigates the relative clauses (RCs) in Jianshi Squliq Atayal from the viewpoint of Field Linguistics and Generative Syntax. It is argued that RCs with the linker ka□ (ka□-RCs) and RCs without the linker ka□ (bare RCs) are two different kinds of relative clauses. The former are structurally externally-headed and semantically restrictive while the latter are structurally internally-headed and semantically nonrestrictive. This distinction can be buttressed by evidence from word order, resumptive pronoun, temporal adverbial and proper name. The linker ka□ is also proven to be a complementizer rather than a relative pronoun or a case marker.
On the basis of externally-headed relative clauses (EHRCs) in Squliq Atayal, we claim that the standard approach is superior to the Antisymmetric approach proposed by Kayne (1994). Although the Antisymmetric approach can easily generate all kinds of linear order, it not only results in the problem of overgeneration but also cannot account for the omission of the complementizer in Squliq Atayal. On the contrary, the standard approach does not have these problems and it can consistently explain the phrase structure of EHRCs in Squliq Atayal, English and Chinese. Besides, EHRCs in Squliq Atayal exhibit the argument-adjunct asymmetry in island effects and the subject-object asymmetry in relativization, which further prefers the standard approach.
As for internally-headed relative clauses (IHRCs) in Squliq Atayal, they are not adverbial clauses since their syntactic distribution is different from that of adverbial clauses in Squliq Atayal. In terms of island effects, it is proposed that prenominal IHRCs and postnominal IHRCs are syntactically different: the head noun of prenominal bare RCs moves to Spec-CP to check off T-feature and [REL] while the head noun of postnominal bare RCs is base-generated at Spec-CP. However, whether IHRCs are pronominal or postnominal, they are genuine nonrestrictive relative clauses.
