Next: Restrictive vs. Non-restrictive relatives
Up: Relative Clauses
Previous: Further constraints on the C
Reduced relatives are permitted only in cases of subject-extraction.
Past participial reduced relatives are only permitted on passive
clauses.
See ((196)-(203)).

These restrictions are built into the <mode> specifications
of S.t. So non-passive cases of subject extraction have the following
feature equation:
Sr.t:
mode
ind/ger/inf
Passive cases of subject extraction have the following
feature equation:
Sr.t:
mode
ind/ger/ppart/inf
Finally, all cases of non-subject extraction have the following
feature equation:
Sr.t:
mode
ind/inf
