My

niece

whose

husband

is

out

of

work

will

inherit

the

house

which

I

have

always

treasured.

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

....).
