OG 194

winnie

谢谢！但是我想知道的是what is “ limiting appositive ”，或者limiting appositive与appositive有什么区别？

另外，og 194. Presenters at the seminar, one of whom is blind, will demonstrate adaptive equipment.

og解释： one of whom best serves an appositive to the subject, presenters, because the phrase means “one from among several or many.”

one of whom is blind作为presenters的appositive，whom算什么？

应该不是relative pronoun，不是疑问代词。仅行使普通代词的功能？

欢迎讨论！

APPOSITIVES

A word, phrase or clause that means the same thing as (i.e., synonym) or further explains another noun (pronoun).

Non-restrictive appositives are not essential to the meaning of the sentence.

Restrictive appositives are essential to the meaning of the sentence.

1. NON-RESTRICTIVE:

• Her husband, Fritz, is a nice guy.

• We assume she has only one husband. Thus, commas are used.

• The firm chose Mary, vice president of public affairs, as its chief executive officer.

• Because we have identified the person by name, her title is additional information. It can be set off by commas. In other words, we could take it out and the meaning would not change.

• The Grand Canyon, one of our nation's most popular tourist attractions, is breathtaking to behold.

• Because we have identified the place by name, the rest is additional information. It can be set off by commas. In other words, we could take it out and the meaning would not change.

• Neil Armstrong, the first man who walked on the moon, is a native of Ohio.

• Because we have identified the person by name, the additional information is not restricted to the sentence. It can be set off by commas. In other words, we could take it out and the meaning would not change.

2. RESTRICTIVE:

• Evan's friend John cheated on the test.

• EVAN has more than one friend; therefore, no commas are used to set off JOHN. We need the name to know which friend we're talking about.

• We students are happy with good grades.

• STUDENTS identify who WE [subj.] are. If we remove it, WE does not have the same meaning.

• She waited patiently for the famous author Stephen King.

• STEPHEN KING identifies which famous author. There is no comma after AUTHOR because there are many famous authors.

Whom指代主语presenters,这里用宾格是因为做介词of的宾语,所以用宾格,ets的意思是,这里需要一个限定性同位语来定义presenters中的一个.

Thank you!

jandjshi

这里哪个是主语？One还是Presenters? 这里用了will看不出来，如果用进行时，那谓语应是is demo'ing 还是 are demo'ing.

jandjshi

哦，看明白了，Presenters是主语，are demo'ing...

我的问题和楼主一样，不过看了讨论觉得还是没有清楚的定论，想请教NN，为什么这边
            one of whom is blind 动词是用
            is, 而不是
            N1 of N2 that/which V2 (动词跟N2的单多数决定)这个规则，烦请NN可以说清楚一些吗? 感激~~

 one of them is blind已经是个语法结构完整的句子了，当然不可以了。

除非换成 one of them blind,还可以做独立主格。
