This paper reports a study of the distribution of the nominative and the oblique form in personal pronouns in Danish, specifically the distribution of the two case forms in subjects constructed as a personal pronoun with a restrictive relative clause (of the type de/ dem der kom til tiden, fik en god plads ‘they/them who arrived on time, had a good seat’).
