Kathryn Weintraub University of Chicagof A computer grammar is described which includes most of the English relative-clause constructions. It is written in the form of a left-to-right phrase-structure grammar with discontinuous constituents and subscripts which carry such syntactic restrictions as number and verb government category. The motivation for the hierarchy of syntactic choices and for the use of discontinuous constituents is discussed. Many examples are given and special attention is given to complement constructions and to the relation of the relative pronoun to complex prenominal and post-nominal determiner constructions.

In the case of a relative clause these two constituents are termed the relative topic and the relative comment. The relative topic is peculiar to the relative clause. It imposes restrictions on the form of the relative comment which are not found in other forms of clause. Moreover because of the relative topic the relative clause appears to differ significantly from other forms of subordinate clause. The relative topic fulfills at least three functions within the clause. First it is a form of clause marker. It identifies the specific form of subordinate clause. In this function the relative topic is similar to a word such as when which introduces a type of adverbial subordinate clause or to a phrase such as whether or not which identifies one form of subordinate complement clause.
