A Comparative Study of Relative Clauses in Russian and Persian

In the present study, we have studied and compared the subordinate relative clauses in complex sentences in Persian and Russian. A relative clause is the same adjective but, unlike adjective, it appears as a dependent clause in the complex sentence. In this paper, we examine the types of Persian subordinate relative clauses and their comparison with the Russian subordinate relative clauses, the subordinate conjunctions in these two languages, the position and movement of these clauses in Russian and Persian sentences. The purpose of this study is to study, analyze and descriptive accurate comparison of the subordinate relative clauses in Persian and Russian and to extract and analyze their similarities and differences in these two languages, in order to facilitate the teaching of Russian complex sentences to Persian language students. The positions of the subordinate relative clauses are identical in the Russian and Persian complex sentences, but unlike in the Persian language, these clauses do not have the ability to move from near the reference word to the end of the sentence. Their classification, punctuation, and the subordinate conjunctions in the subordinate relative clauses in these two languages are different.
