Opis:The use of that and which in adjectival restrictive clauses has long been defined by teachers ofgrammar and composition: that and which are interchangeable in such clauses. However, some of themost distinguished grarnmarians and theoreticians of English usage claim that that and which shouldnot be used interchangeably. No less experts than W.H. Fowler, Theodore Bemstein, and FredrickCrews, in stark contrast to the accepted classroom decorum for these words, recornmend strongly thatthat be used exclusively for restrictive clauses and which for nonrestrictive ones. This debate, largelyignoreed in the texts and referencebooks used for instruction, is reviewed, analyzed, and assessed inthis article.
