Relative Clause

Tugas Bahasa Inggris Bussiness 2


Relative Clause adalah bagian dari kalimat (anak kalimat) yang memberi keterangan pada orang atau benda yang mendahuluinya. Istilah Relative Clause sama dengan Adjective Clause. Disebut Adjective Clause karena dia menerangkan benda atau orang yang mendahuluinya. Disebut Relative Clause karena dia menghubungkan (me-relate) benda atau orang tersebut dengan frasa di belakangnya. Relative Clause diawali dengan kata penghubung who, whom, whose, which, that, dengan fungsi sebagai berikut

Who: menerangkan orang sebagai subject
Whom: menerangkan kan orang sebagai object (menggantikan me, you, us, him, her,
them, it)
Whose:menerangkan orang sebagai pemilik (menggantikan my, your, our, his, her, their,
its)
Which: menerangkan benda sebagai subject maupun object
That menerangkan orang atau benda baik sebagai subject maupun object

Contoh:
Orang atau benda yang bergaris bawah pada kalimat sebelah kiri adalah sama dengan kata ganti orang atau benda yang bergaris bawah dalam kalimat sebelah kanan.Kata penghubung dibuat berdasarkan kata ganti orang atau benda dalam kalimat di sebelah kanan.

1. The fisherman gave us some tunas. He caught a lot of tunas.
--The fisherman who caught a lot of tunas gave us some. (
subjek)
2. The farmer was away on holiday. I wanted to see him.
--The farmer whom I wanted to see was away on holiday. (
objek)
3. The woman asked me. Her bike was lost.
--The woman whose bike was lost asked me. (
pemilik)


WHERE TO PUT THE PREPOSITION IN A RELATIVE CLAUSE

There are often prepositions in relative clauses, and the relative pronoun is the object of the preposition. This means that the preposition can sometimes be omitted.

The preposition is normally placed at the end of the relative clause:

* Is that the man (who) you arrived with?
* Do you know the girl (that) John is talking to?

In formal or written English, the preposition is often placed before the relative pronoun, and in this case the pronoun cannot be omitted:

* The person with whom he is negotiating is the Chairman of a large company.
* It is a society to which many important people belong.

However, this is unusual in spoken English.

Examples

* The jungle the tribe lived in was full of strange and unusual animals.
* He liked the people that he lived with.
* The tree under which they had their picnic was the largest and oldest in the park.
* To the east of the city was a lake that many people went to on the weekend.
* It was the river in which the children preferred to swim.

How to form relative clauses; DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES

As the name suggests, these clauses give essential information to define or identify the person or thing we are talking about. Obviously, this is only necessary if there is more than one person or thing involved.


Example

* Dogs that like cats are very unusual.

In this sentence we understand that there are many dogs, but it is clear that we are only talking about the ones that like cats.

Punctuation

* Commas are not used in defining relative clauses.
 

Relative pronouns

The following relative pronouns are used in defining relative clauses:


Person:

Subject ; who/that

Object ; who/whom/that

Possessive ; whose


Thing

Subject ; which/that

Object ; which/that/

Possessive ; whose


Place

Object ; where


Time

Object ; when


Reason

Object ; why


Notes:

1. The relative pronoun stands in place of a noun.

This noun usually appears earlier in the sentence:

The woman ; Noun, subject of main clause

who/that ; relative pronoun referring to 'the woman', subject of 'spoke'

spoke at the meeting ; verb + rest of relative clause

was very knowledgeable. ; verb + rest of main clause


2. Who, whom and which can be replaced by that. This is very common in spoken English.
3. The relative pronoun can be omitted when it is the object of the clause

The woman ; Noun, subject of main clause

that ; relative pronoun, referring to 'the woman', object of 'loved'

the man loved ; verb + rest of relative clause

was living in New York ; verb + rest of main clause

(You can usually decide whether a relative pronoun is an object because it is normally followed by another subject + verb.)

4. Whose is used for things as well as for people.


Examples

* The man whose car was stolen.
* A tree whose leaves have fallen.


5. Whom is very formal and is only used in written English. You can use who/that, or omit the pronoun completely :

* The doctor whom/who/that/ I was hoping to see wasn't on duty.

6. That normally follows words like something, anything, everything, nothing, all, and superlatives.


Examples

* There's something that you should know.
* It was the best film that I've ever seen.
* A clown is someone who makes you laugh.
* An elephant is an animal that lives in hot countries.
* The plums that were in the fridge were delicious. I have eaten them.
* Where are the plums (that) I put in the fridge?
* Has anyone seen the book I was reading?
* Nothing that anyone does can replace my lost bag.
* Let's go to a country where the sun always shines.
* They live in the house whose roof is full of holes.

3.  Seringkali Adjective Clause digunakan dalam pola: noun + of which. Pola ini terutama digunakan untuk tulisan bahasa Inggris resmi (formal written English). Dalam pola ini biasanya Adjective Clause menerangkan "sesuatu". 

Contoh:
# We have an antique table. The top of it has jade inlay.
We have an antique table, the top of which has jade inlay.
# We toured a 300-year-old house. The exterior of the house consisted of logs cemented with clay.
We toured a 300-year-old house, the exterior of which consisted of logs cemented with lay.

Ada 2 macam perbedaan yang penting antara dua jenis Clause tersebut: perhatikan contoh berikut ini:

1.  Adjective Clause biasanya didahului oleh noun atau pronoun yang diterangkan.
Adjective Clause
I know the house where he lives.
(where he lives mempunyai antecedent the house, yang merupakan objek dari kata
know) 
Noun Clause
I know where he lives. 
(where he lives adalah objek dari kata know)

2. Preposisi yang mendahului introductory word adalah milik Adjective Clause dan bukan milik Noun
Clause.

Computer Graphics
The first implementation of such systems supporting what we might recognize as a computer graphics system can be found in 1950, when MIT’s Whirlwind computer system was used to support a refreshed vector screen for display of graphics. This system can be considered a first-generation computer, running with vacuum tubes and consuming considerable space and power. Limitations in the interfaces as well as costeffective access to computational systems meant that it was not until 1963 that Ivan E. Sutherland presented Sketchpad, the first full-fledged, operational computer-aided design system. This system ran on second-generation TX-2 computers, using transistors for computation, and refreshed vector displays and light pen for the user interface. Several other implementations of computer graphic systems were developed in academic settings during the early 1960s, leading to the conference “Architecture and the Computer” in 1964.
In late 1964 IBM demonstrated their DAC-1 system to support graphic interaction in automobile design. From the introduction of this system came increasing use of interactive computer-aided design systems by automobile and aerospace firms, so that by end of the 1960s, commercial use of computer graphics was proven, although only in applications that supported high-cost factors. The first computer graphic tool specifically for architectural application was ARK-2, introduced in the early 1970s. General use of computers in architectural design had to wait until the early 1980s, when computer systems had reduced in cost by a factor yet again to make it feasible for large practices to purchase workstations.
