Defining and non-defining relative clauses (unit #14, part 2)

1. Defining relative clauses 

말 그대로 뭔가 정의하는것. who/which/that 을 쓰는 일반적인 관계대명사로 필수적인 정보를 담는다.

A dialect coach is a language specialist.

She works with actors on their accents.

--> A dialect coach is a language specialist who works with actors on their accents.

who 이하는 dialect coach에 대한 필수적인 정보가 포함되어있음

2. Non-defining relative clauses

없어도 되는 잉여 추가정보. that 같은거 안되고 항상 who/which만 쓰임. 콤마 반드시 쓰임

일상적인 회화에서 엄청 많이 쓰일 것 같음

얘기하다가 쓸모없는 말 하나씩 보태고 보태고..

A location scout finds places to shot scenes. 

He travels all over the world.

--> A location scout, who finds places to shot scene, travels all over the world.

who에 엮인 절은 사실 없어도 location scout가 세계를 여행한다는 사실을 설명하는데는 지장이 없다. 

즉 없어도 되는 잉여 정보라는 뜻
