She spoke of the [people and books which] had brought her the greatest pleasure. 2. She spoke of the [books and people who] had brought her the greatest pleasure. Here the antecedent is a coordination of nouns differing with respect to the personal vs non-personal contrast. The conflict is typically resolved by means of the principle of proximity, with the gender of the pronoun determined by the last noun in the coordination. The conflict can of course be avoided by using a non-wh relative, in this example a [that] relative. (page 1049, The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language) http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~flohaas/QuirkEtAl_1244-62.pdf With coordinated antecedents of mixed gender, the choice of relative pronoun may create a problem. It does not arise when zero relative is possible or when that is chosen, eg: the people and things {she likes most / that amuse her most} With wh-pronouns, the principle of proximity seems to be favored: {the people and things which / the things and people who} amuse her most (page 1246, A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language) -- 閩南語國際網http://www.banlam.com/臺灣閩南語辭典http://edic.nict.gov.tw/mdic/ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.169.187.239 --
