Some Problems Connected with the Translation of Relative Clauses into Predicate Calculus

Abstract

Traditionally the distinction between restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses has been defined as follows: A restrictive relative clause restricts the extension of the concept, expressed by the NP, to which the restrictive relative clause is attached. A non-restrictive relative clause leaves the extension of the respective concept unmodified.KeywordsDeep StructureLogical AnalysisRelative ClausePredicate CalculusDefinite DescriptionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
