Question about reduced relative clause?

2011-04-24 1:14 am
I came across a sentence which is worth of discussing I think. That is:

"There is no end to the pile of royal memorabilia BEING created in celebration of Prince William and Kate Middleton's upcoming wedding"

I wonder if the word "being" is redundant. As the would sentence can be like this with the identical meaning:

"There is no end to the pile of royal memorabilia (which are) created in celebration of Prince William and Kate Middleton's upcoming wedding"

Am I correct or not? Please share your opinions.

Many thanks

No, it is not redundant; it denotes the "current" nature of the creation. The second version makes no sense.

you elect to ascertain your greater grammar e book. We use participle adjectives at the moment after nouns at the same time as they perceive or outline the noun. it truly is resembling 'defining relative clauses' (ie relative clauses which somewhat of giving more suitable techniques outline the problem of the relative pronoun.) for this reason those participle adjectives are frequently called decreased relative clauses. eg: I counted the type of folk waiting. (= who were waiting.) We had to pay for the rooms used. (= that were used.) some is extensively utilized formerly the noun. therefore: international warming takes position at the same time as gases called... yet: market and transportation elect to grant gases that make contributions... (No participle, for this reason can't be 'decreased'.)
