Abstract

In this article, based on the structural and semantic features of the relative clauses and subordinate clauses of place, the author analyzes the criteria that underlie the differentiation of these two types of clauses and which allow certain types of clauses to be qualified as adjuncts or complements. The main conclusion of the present study is that the subordinate clauses of place have the most important structural and semantic characteristics that are typical for the relative (determinative) subordinate clauses, and that even the absence of an antecedent does not affect their grammatical position in the sentence.
