Selected problems concerning Polish-Spanish contrastive syntax: the relative clauses

Summary/Abstract: In the introductory part of this article we present several opinions of the Polish and Spanish linguists referring to the relative clauses. Next, we write about their forms – both in the past as those existing nowadays, and the difference in the number of these forms arising from inclusion or exclusion of relative adverbs among them. Finally, we mention the classification of the clauses, taking into consideration the presence or absence of the antecedent to which the relative refers, as well as the syntactical function displayed by the relative clause or the information which is given by its restrictive or appositive character.
