*In Japanese, restrictive relative clauses and non-restrictive relative clauses are not dis-
tinguished by form. For example, the noun phrase in (i) is ambiguous.
(i) L <'W< EI $A
((1) the Japanese, who work hard; (2) Japanese people who work hard)
A proper context is necessary to make this phrase unambiguous.

**There are some variations of "S to iu N," as in (i).
