Hello.
This might sound as a bit of a stupid question, but I was wondering if a relative clause can have a function (i.e. subject, object, adverbial etc.) in addition to it being restrictive or non-restrictive.
Thanks.

Sorry, everything has mixed up. I wrote it much clearer. I don't know how to send it properly. I hope you get an idea of what I was trying to say. :cry:
