Relative Clauses in Spectroscopic Articles in the "Physical Review, "Beginnings and 1980: Some Changes in Patterns of Modification and a Connection to a Possible Shift in Style.
Vande Kopple, William J.
Written Communication, v15 n2 p170-202 Apr 1998
Examines the number of relative clauses and percentages of subordinate clauses in two sets of research reports from "Physical Review." Finds a slight decrease in percentages of relative clauses from the first set (1893-1901) to the second (1980). Finds striking differences in patterns of what relative clauses modify. Suggests a stylistic shift between the two sets. (PA)
