Re: Fwd: Re: Function of the phrase "such
as"?
Ah, your analysis better fits the sense I had of the
construction and its relationship to the whole, though I could not
puzzle it out myself. Thank you! If you wanted to send me
the attachment directly, I'd sure study it.
I can see I'm going to need to lay my hands on a copy of this
book. Thanks for the full title. I've got most of the
basics of the RK system down, I think, by ferreting out what I could
from the few books that I've found that employ it. I need a
book now that explores the system more thoroughly. This one
certainly ought to do that. Have you any other
recommendations? Lester's _Grammar and Usage in the Classroom_
is on my list, based on a list discussion some time ago, but that's
the only other one I know of so far.
Looks like it's time to check out ABE books again . .

Odile,
I am not sure about this, but your
question seems to fit the criteria of an adjective
modification. Here is how R&K (Alonzo Reed &
Brainerd Kellogg, Higher Lessons in English: A Work on English
Grammar and Composition, In which the Science of the Language is made
tributary to the Art of Expression, New York, 1907, p. 102)
diagram most adjective clauses:
