RELATIVE
CLAUSE
relative clause is a kind of subordinate clause, one of
whose arguments shares a referent with a main clause element on which the subordinate
clause is grammatically dependent.
Most
typically, a relative clause modifies a noun
or noun phrase, and uses some grammatical device to indicate that
one of the arguments within the relative clause has the same referent as that
noun or noun phrase. For example, in the sentence I met a man who wasn't
there, the subordinate clause who wasn't there is a relative clause,
since it modifies the noun man, and uses the pronoun who to
indicate that the same "man" is referred to within the subordinate
clause (in this case, as its subject).
In many European
languages, relative clauses are introduced by a special class of pronouns called relative pronouns; such as who in the example just
given. In other languages, relative clauses may be marked in different ways:
they may be introduced by a special class of conjunctions called relativizers; the main verb of the relative clause may
appear in a special morphological variant; or a relative clause may be
indicated by word order alone.In some languages, more than one of these
mechanisms may be possible
