--1 Relative clauses and pronouns
abstract Relative = Cat ** {
fun
-- 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
