New page

The term '''appositive relative clause''' is sometimes used in the same sense as [[nonrestrictive relative clause]].

===Example===
English ''My only brother Pedro, who is a Catholic priest, lives in Lima.'' (Contrasting with a restrictive relative clause, e.g. ''The woman who wants to become an Anglican priest'' is my cousin.)

===Polysemy===
The term appositive is also used in the context of
* [[apposition]] (a kind of NP modifier)
* [[appositive noun phrase]]s

===Synonym===
* [[nonrestrictive relative clause]]

===Origin===
Perhaps the term is due to Smith (1964).
