Does attributive clause mean as same as relative clause?


A book I read about translation strategies for English to Chinese translations has a phrase called attributive clause.
And the book uses the term attribute clause as the term relative clause would be used for.

A phrase that says something about a noun or pronoun is called an attributive clause.

Usually, it comes after the word or pronoun and gives more information about it.
