This book sheds new light on Appositive Relative Clauses, a structure that is generally studied from a merely syntactic point of view, in opposition to Determinative (or Restrictive) Relative Clauses. In this volume, ARCs are examined from a discourse/pragmatic point of view, independently of DRCs, in order to provide a positive definition of the structure. After a presentation of the morphosyntactic, semantic and pragmatic characteristics of ARCs, a taxonomy of their functions in discourse is established for both written and spoken English based on the results of a corpus-based investigation. The end result is a deeper understanding of the richness of ARCs in their natural contexts of use.
The central hypothesis of this book is that the differences to be observed between future time restrictive and future time non-restric-tive relative clauses cannot be generalized to include just any issue relating to tense in relative clauses. I will illustrate the similarities between restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses and show that the differences between them occur primarily in (a) future time contexts and (b) "world-posterior indirectly bound" contexts.
Conjunctions are words used to connect clauses. They not only connect clauses but also express the relationship between them. This exercise tests your knowledge of conjunctions.
