Looking at the clause

"... to talk to two separate people or groups involved in a disagreement"

is the word 'involved' an adjective here? If it is, shouldn't it be 'that are involved'?

    Does this answer your question? Implicit "which is". Traditional grammar regards the (often totally acceptable) shorter form as a 'reduced relative clause'. Commented Feb 6, 2020 at 14:03

  • There are many posts here addressing the topic; search for "reduced relative clause" (and be aware that some grammars regard the term as inaccurate and explain the shorter forms differently). Commented Feb 6, 2020 at 14:09
