Persian has a case system whereby specific direct objects are marked with the enclitic را =rā. However, the spoken language presents a greater degree of flexibility with regard to =rā marking, especially in complex clauses such as restrictive relative clauses where a head noun can fulfil more than one syntactic function. Previous descriptions of direct object marking in relative clauses in Persian are routinely based on high-register language, e.g. written literature, and they are inconsistent in their observations. This study is an empirical investigation of the distribution of the =rā marker in restrictive relative clauses in spoken Farsi, and of the degrees of acceptance among Farsi speakers of different patterns of this structure.
