a strategy for the expression of the necessarily shared participant in the relative clause of an externally headed - relative clause construction, in which the participant is expressed in the relative clause by an anaphoric pronoun. Example: the Modern Hebrew construction illustrated by hasarim [she-ha-nasi shalax otam la mitsraim] 'the ministers that the President sent to Egypt', uses the pronoun-retention strategy: the anaphoric pronoun otam 'them' occurs in the relative clause she-ha-nasi shalax otam la mitsraim 'that the President sent them to Egypt', and refers to the external relative clause head hasarim 'the ministers'. (Section 19.2.2)
