    <Paragraph position="0"> I have shown that STAG-based compositional semantics for relative clauses with pied-piping is 2Partial stranding as in a boy [a picture of whom]i Mary made a copy of ti can be handled by composing a multi-component set for whom containing a degenerate DP tree and another multi-component set for a picture of containing a degenerate DP tree. Further, the impossibility of the stranding of subject DP, as in *a boy whomi [a brother of ti] hit Mary, can be handled by placing an NA constraint on the subject DP dominating a trace in the relative clause tree.</Paragraph>

The main ingredients of the proposed analysis are: in syntax, the pied-piped material adjoins to the wh-word, and in semantics, the wh-word provides a GQ to which the meaning of the pied-piped material adjoins. I have also shown that similar analysis can handle cases in which the wh-word alone has moved to [Spec,CP], stranding the rest of the DP in situ, if we use a multi-component set containing a degenerate DP for the syntax of the relative pronoun. The proposed analysis utilizes composition operations in semantics that are already available in syntax, substitution and adjoining, thereby making syntax-semantics mapping in TAG simple and straightforward.</Paragraph>
