a strategy for the expression of the necessarily shared participant in the relative clause of an externally headed relative clause construction, in which the participant is expressed in the relative clause by an anaphoric pronoun. Example: the Modern Hebrew construction illustrated by hasarim [she-ha-nasi shalax otam la mitsraim] the ministers that the President sent to Egypt, uses the pronoun-retention strategy: the anaphoric pronoun otam them occurs in the relative clause she-ha-nasi shalax otam la mitsraim that the President sent them to Egypt, and refers to the external relative clause head hasarim the ministers.
