Abstract
Schlenker (2010) recently provided data from English and French suggesting that,contrary to standard assumptions (McCawley, 1982; Potts, 2005; Arnold, 2007; AnderBoiset al., 2011), non-restrictive relative clauses (NRCs) can take narrow scope under operators ofthe sentence within which they are embedded. This paper presents three experiments in Germanconfirming this claim. The results show that embedded readings are available with NRCs inGerman and give first insights into the puzzle under which conditions these embedded readingsdo or do not show up.Keywords: relative clauses, appositives, projection, rhetorical relations.
