| <h3>Restrictive / Non-Restrictive Modifiers</h3>
| |
|
| |
| When verbs / adjectives are used as modifiers, the dependent form is used when the modifier
| |
| is restrictive ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictiveness ), and the
| |
| independent form is used when the modifier is non-restrictive e.g. from the work teyláae
| |
| /teilɛˤː/ - shirt, we can say:
| |
|
| |
| teyláae `ròedla /teilɛːˤ ʱʁɘʱdɮa/ – a red shirt
| |
| (restrictive)
| |
|
| |
| teyláae `ròedù /teilɛːˤ ʱʁɘʱduʱ/ – the red shirt
| |
| (non-restrictive)
