Does Chinese have relative clauses? Which linguistic form(s) represent(s) the Chinese relative clause? How to define the Chinese relative clause in a formalized way? How to analyze the Chinese under the framework of general linguistics in comparison of other languages? How to associate the traditional Chinese grammar with the modern linguistic theories in order to offer new research topics and methods of analysis? This article will take as example a serial of questions as the recognition, the syntactical distinction and re-definition the Chinese relative clause to investigate, in the perspective of general linguistics, the Chinese language phenomena.
