In the previous chapter we discussed clauses which represent actions/events in the material world. In this and the following chapters we deal with clauses which represent relationships involving an entity and some other entity, quality, location or whatever. The first entity will be referred to as a Carrier, after the PR it fulfils. The other item also serves a PR, albeit a different one according to the nature of the relationship between the two things.
