Özet
Studies on the acquisition, production and comprehension ofrelative clauses have been increasing dramatically in recent decades.Various models have been proposed to explain the mechanism anddynamics of relative clauses. The relative complex nature of relativeclauses has been challenging linguists and cognitive scientists.However, one of the commonalities in these models is that objectrelative clauses are harder to process, comprehend and produce thansubject relative clauses. This study aimed to focus on the adultlearners’ acquisition of relative clauses. Therefore, four tasks weredeveloped to elicit the data regarding the production andcomprehension of subject-object relative clauses. Hamilton’s subjectobject hypothesis was tested. Five international participants learningTurkish and seven Turkish individuals learning English were involvedin the study. The results show that all of the participants produced andcomprehended subject relative clauses more easily than object relativeclauses. The findings of the study support those of the relatedliterature in that object relative clauses are harder to process, produceand comprehend
