| Jan 17, 2017 at 20:30 | comment | added | herisson | @user2720402: It seems that such sentences are grammatical, but prone to sounding bad for other reasons aside from grammar. That one in particular doesn't sound good to me. | |
| Jan 17, 2017 at 15:05 | comment | added | herisson | @user2720402: Oh, that's a great question! I actually need to do some more research about this. | |
| Jan 17, 2017 at 10:02 | comment | added | user2720402 | Excellent answer! But i want to ask if the logic above is still applicable when the relative pronoun is representing subject instead of object. For example, can we say: "I'm living in a country the language of which is brand new to me"? Any more variation of this kind of sentence? | |
