释义	Definition of contact clause in English: contact clause noun Grammar A relative clause appended without a relative pronoun to the noun phrase that governs it, as in the man I saw yesterday. 〔语法〕不带关系代词的关系从句 Example sentencesExamples Join each pair of sentences, making the subordinate clause a contact clause; i.e. with the omission of the relative pronoun. Contact clauses are common in spoken English. The relative pronouns can be organized in a similar table to the one above, but no omission or contact clauses can be found here. What makes one a comma splice and the other a contact clause is a function of what the writer knows. When the relative pronouns ‘who ", ‘which’ or ‘that’ (in object case) are omitted the relative clause becomes a contact clause.
