Reconstruction effects in relative clauses are a class of phenomena where the external head of the relative clause seems to behave as if it occupied a position within the relative clause, as far as some commonly accepted principle of grammar is concerned.

An often cited type of example is The [relative of his] [which every man admires most] is his mother., where the pronoun his in the relative head appears to be bound by the quantified noun phrase every man in the relative clause - although the latter does not c-command the former, which is commonly required for binding.
