This article is concerned with what we will call determiner-headed free relatives (DHFRs), e.g. this is the what you do against the Rams. We argue, based on the raising analysis of relative clauses, that this type of relative is a variant of headed relatives whose invisible nominal head is derived from (i) decomposing wh-words into [D wh-] and [N -at], (ii) raising the latter as the nominal head, and (iii) pronouncing the original copy. This analysis attributes their headed-relative-like properties and their unique properties to their invisible nominal head. It also suggests that the raising analysis of DHFRs is preferable to the matching analysis.
