The term appositive relative clause is sometimes used in the same sense as nonrestrictive relative clause.
Example
English My only brother Pedro, who is a Catholic priest, lives in Lima. (Contrasting with a restrictive relative clause, e.g. The woman who wants to become an Anglican priest is my cousin.)
Polysemy
The term appositive is also used in the context of
- apposition (a kind of NP modifier)
- appositive noun phrases
Synonym
Origin
Perhaps the term is due to Smith (1964).
