<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
<jats:p>This paper is an attempt to provide an overview of the typologically relevant features of restrictive relative clauses with a nominal head in Lower and Upper Sorbian. Its main concern are (1) the semantic distinction characteristic not only of Sorbian, but also of most other Slavonic languages between relative clauses where the head of the clause and its relativized counterpart are coreferential and those which merely indicate that the referent of the head of the clause has the same properties, represents the same type as the referent of its relativized counterpart, (2) the various relativizers used to express this distinction and (3) the relativization strategies as well as the degree of accessibility to relativization involved in each case.</jats:p>
