Besides our seminar, the motivation and idea to deal with this topic has arisen from my personal experiences. Since I lived and worked approximately five months in South Africa last year. The Zulu language aroused my interest because it differs from all languages I know, but nevertheless it includes English words or word parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This time, in my term paper, I will try to discuss the way of forming a relative clause in Zulu. This formation usually involves a prefix, also called relative concord, which is attached to the predicate of a relative clause. A relative clause is a subordinate clause that modifies a noun. Generally in most European languages, a relative clause is introduced by a relative pronoun, which belongs to a special class of pronouns. ¿In other languages, relative clauses may be marked in different ways: they may be introduced by a special class of conjunctions called relativizers; the main verb of the relative clause may appear in a special morphological variant; or a relative clause may be indicated by word order alone. In some languages, more than one of these mechanisms may be possible.¿  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince relative clauses in Zulu were formed in a different way than in most European languages I would like to examine this problem in more detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783640909452\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783640909452","offer_id":39442393694301,"sku":"9783640909452","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/67db5301-4acf-458c-ab24-5ddf6d9c57d9.jpg?v=1777782814","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-relative-clause-formation-in-zulu-von-alexandra-orth","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
