An attributive is a noun or noun phrase that is used to attribute another noun or noun phrase,or a pronoun:
　　A clause that functions as an attributive is called an attributive clause.
　　The attributive clause serves as an attributive modifier.
　　The attributive clause is introduced by the relative pronoun that or which,which is either the subject or the object in the attributive clause.
　　Almost any noun may have an attributive clause to modify it.
