Relativizer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linguistics, a relativizer is a conjunction used to indicate a relative clause. Not all languages use relativizers; most Indo-European languages use relative pronouns instead, and some languages, such as Japanese, rely solely on word order to indicate relative clauses. Languages that do use relativizers include most Semitic languages.
