ABSTRACT
In Chapter 7 we looked at some forms of modification of the Head in nominal groups (and, briefly, other groups). In this chapter we consider, among other things, the way in which clauses can fulfil a similar function. In (1), you will find a nominal group a sealed unit that holds the service fuse. Here the functions Thing and Head are simultaneously realized by a single noun (in bold print in the example). The Qualifier and Postmodifier functions are simultaneously realized by a clause (in italics). https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table">

The main supply cable goes to a sealed unit that holds the service fuse.
