D.1 Step 2. Learning about the attributive clause The Restrictive and Non-Restrictive Attributive Clause 1. Show Ss

some examples of attributive clause and non-restrictive attributive clause 2. Get Ss to tell whether the following pairs of sentences mean the same thing. (1) My uncle, who lives in London, is very rich.

My uncle who lives in London is very rich. (2) The policies, which were unpopular, were rejected by the voters.

The policies which were unpopular were rejected by the voters. (3) My niece, whose husband is out of work, will inherit the house, which I have always treasured.

My niece whose husband is out of work will inherit the house, which I have always treasured. Suggested answers:

The first sentence in each pair has a non-restrictive clause within two commas, and the second has a restrictive clause. A non-restrictive clause simply adds more information into the sentence and does not affect the meaning of the main clause: it is therefore bracketed off with commas(1a = an uncle who happens to live in London). Conversely, a restrictive clause defines its referent in the main clause more specifically and contributes significantly to the meaning of the sentence. Thus it is that particular uncle who lives in London who is referred to (1b). In 2a, all policies were unpopular and all were rejected, whereas in 2b only the policies that were

unpopular were rejected. Note that in restrictive clauses the non-human relative pronoun is either 'that' or 'which', whereas for human referents the relative pronoun can be either 'who/m' or 'that' ( the man that/whom I will marry ...)

限制性定语从句是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语, 如果去掉, 主句的意思就不完整或失去意义。这种从句和主句的关系十分密切，写时不用逗号分开。限制性定语从句中作宾语

的关系代词常可省略。如: a) What is the name of the tall woman who is standing there?

站在那边的那个女人叫什么名字? b) Toronto is a city (that) I' ve

always wanted to visit. 多伦多是我常想去参观的一个城市。
