<h1> Relative clauses and pronouns</h1>
<pre>
abstract Relative = Cat ** {
fun
</pre>
The simplest way to form a relative clause is from a clause by
a pronoun similar to <i>such that</i>.
<pre>
RelCl : Cl -> RCl ; -- such that John loves her
</pre>
The more proper ways are from a verb phrase
(formed in [``Verb`` Verb.html]) or a sentence
with a missing noun phrase (formed in [``Sentence`` Sentence.html]).
<pre>
RelVP : RP -> VP -> RCl ; -- who loves John
RelSlash : RP -> ClSlash -> RCl ; -- whom John loves
</pre>
Relative pronouns are formed from an 'identity element' by prefixing
or suffixing (depending on language) prepositional phrases or genitives.
<pre>
IdRP : RP ; -- which
FunRP : Prep -> NP -> RP -> RP ; -- the mother of whom
}
</pre>
