Reduced relatives are permitted only in cases of subject-extraction. Past participial reduced relatives are only permitted on passive clauses. See ((248)-(255)).

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