The relative clause may precede or follow the head noun. The non-
restrictive relative clause always follows the head noun. In general,
the participial relative clauses precede the head noun.
The form of the relativized element in the relative clause
corresponding to the head noun (i.e., the relativized element) is
usually preserved in full when the relative clause precedes the main
clause. Alternately, it is deleted. It is pronominalized when the head
is a pronoun.
