SB1U1 Using language
Non-defining attributive clause
Activity 1 (P5)
Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
What do “where”, “which” and “when” refer to in each sentence
Which sentences contain a clause with essential information and which with extra information If you take away the clauses, do the sentences still make sense
Which clauses are separated by a comma, the ones with essential information or the ones with extra information
In sentence (a) “where” refers to “the waiting area”; in sentence (b) “which” refers to “ ... laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better”; in sentence (c) “when” refers to “the time”.
Sentence (c) contains a clause with essential information, sentences (a) and (b) contain clauses with extra information. If we take away the clause of sentence (c), the meaning of it is incomplete. If we take away the clauses of sentences (a) and (b), the two sentences still make sense.
Sentences (a) and (b) with extra information are separated by commas.

1. 形式和功能不同
限制性定语从句的主句和从句之间不用逗号隔开,从句对先行词的意义进行修饰、限定和识别,如果把从句去掉,就会造成句意发生变化,甚至不能成立;
非限制性定语从句的主句和从句之间通常用逗号隔开,从句对先行词起补充说明的作用,如果把从句省略掉,对句意没有太大影响。
My sister who works in Shanghai sends me an email almost every day.
既然需要限定,说明我的姐姐很多,除了在上海工作的姐姐,还有其他姐姐,删去后从句表意不明。
我在上海工作的姐姐几乎每天都给我发电子邮件。
(限制性定语从句)
Examples
My sister, who works in Shanghai, sends me an email almost every day.
既然不需要限定,说明我只有一个姐姐,删去从句后句意依然明确。

2. 翻译不同
翻译时,一般把限制性定语从句翻译在它所修饰的先行词之前;
而非限制性定语从句通常与主句分开翻译。

(限制性定语从句)
I’ve invited Mary, who lives in the next flat.
我邀请了Mary,她就住在隔壁。
(非限制性定语从句)
3. 先行词不同
限制性定语从句的先行词常常是名词或代词;
非限制性定语从句的先行词可以是名词或代词,也可以是短语或整个句子。
Shanghai is no longer the city that it used to be.
上海不再是过去的那座城市了。
