The simplest way to form a relative clause is from a clause by
|
|
a pronoun similar to <I>such that</I>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
RelCl : Cl -> RCl ; -- such that John loves her
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P></P>
|

<P>
|
|
The more proper ways are from a verb phrase
|
|
(formed in <A HREF="Verb.html"><CODE>Verb</CODE></A>) or a sentence
|
|
with a missing noun phrase (formed in <A HREF="Sentence.html"><CODE>Sentence</CODE></A>).
|
|
</P>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
RelVP : RP -> VP -> RCl ; -- who loves John
|
|
RelSlash : RP -> Slash -> RCl ; -- whom John loves
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P></P>

Relative pronouns are formed from an 'identity element' by prefixing
|
|
or suffixing (depending on language) prepositional phrases.
