Adnominal Clauses

Adnominal clauses are constructed according to the same nominalisation strategy employed for adverbal clauses.

The case for the verb of relative clauses is the genitive. Relative clauses behave much like any other genitive adjunct and they require cross-referencing (through the neuter singular bound pronoun) on the noun to which they are attached.

There are no relative pronouns in Arden. The relativised noun is represented with the ordinary pronouns: either the clitic pronouns, if it is the subject of the relative clause, or the stand-alone personal pronouns otherwise.
