-- The simplest way to form a relative clause is from a clause by
|
|
-- a pronoun similar to "such that".
|
|
|
|
RelCl : Cl -> RCl ; -- such that John loves her
|
|
|
|
-- 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]).
|
|
|
|
RelVP : RP -> VP -> RCl ; -- who loves John
|
|
RelSlash : RP -> Slash -> RCl ; -- whom John loves
|
|
|
|
-- Relative pronouns are formed from an 'identity element' by prefixing
|
|
-- or suffixing (depending on language) prepositional phrases.
