+
+-- 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 -> ClSlash -> RCl ; -- whom John loves
+
+-- Relative pronouns are formed from an 'identity element' by prefixing
+-- or suffixing (depending on language) prepositional phrases.
+
+ IdRP : RP ; -- which
+ FunRP : Prep -> NP -> RP -> RP ; -- the mother of whom
