Abstract

The aim of this paper is to look into relative clauses. Some light is first shed on the meaning of relative clauses. Then the paper proceeds with the types of relative clauses, namely restrictive and non-restrictive clauses. The paper also discusses the distinction between restrictive clauses and non-restrictive clauses in terms of meaning and structure. Furthermore, the last part of the paper is dedicated to how relative clauses are reduced and the differences between relative clauses and clausal complements of verbs.
