In this paper shows that Headed Relative and Factive Relative have similar structure in sense that they have a similar word order and in all of them the complementizer agrees with the (null or overt) head NP in Spec,CP and is homophonous with the determiner. In this regard, the slight difference is that the Headed Relative has an overt head noun whereas Factives have null head nouns.
