Dear Colleagues:
last month, I sent a post regarding the phenomenon of elided relative adverbs
in adverbial relative clauses modifying nouns. However, Beth Young's recent
post indicates that the concept is still unknown or is considered unusual.
Therefore, I am repeating my examples in this post. Neither such an elision
nor such a modifying adverbial clause is uncommmon. Relative adverbs may undergo
"that"replacement and Ø replacement, or elision, much like relative pronouns.
the time when it happened
the time that it happened
the time Ø it happened
the place where we met
the place that we met
the place Ø we met
the reason why I did it
the reason that I did it
the reason Ø I did it
