Abstract
The purpose of this article is twofold. On the one hand, an attempt will be made to show that the framework of GB-theory permits an explanatory account of the properties of the Norwegian relative marker som. On the other hand, this result depends on two specific modifications of the Binding Theory, and the success of the analysis presented here constitutes evidence for these modifications.
