我尝试给嵌入式定语从句下一个定义,只是为了便于你理解。嵌入式定语从句指一个定语从句本身是个含有that从句的主从复合句,关系代词在定语从句中的that从句中做成分。由于that从句是定语从句中的嵌入分句,关系代词在嵌入分句中做成分,所以这种定语从句就叫做嵌入式定语从句。例如:This is the book which my teacher says is very useful. 在which my teacher says is very useful这个定语从句中,my teacher says是主句,which is very useful是says的宾语从句。which是says的宾语从句中的主语,而不是my teacher says这个主句层次的成分。又如,This is the book which I am sure will be helpful to you. 这个定语从句中的主句为I am sure, which在形容词sure后的that从句(形容词的补足语)中作主语。
