 A '''relative clause''' is a [[clause]] that is used to narrow the [[reference]] of a [[referential phrase]] and in which the referent of the phrase plays a [[semantic role]]. It is introduced by a [[relative pronoun]] and which modifies its [[NP]] [[antecedent]].

@@ Line 11: / Line 12: @@
 In this example ''the Ferrari'' is the antecedent of the relative clause ''which I can't afford e'', and ''which'' is the relative pronoun. The relative clause always contains a gap - ''e'' - which is the [[trace]] of the relative pronoun. Movement of the relative pronoun is usually treated on a par with [[wh-movement]].
