Grammar
Comma splice or relative clause?
Ordinarily, however, a subject requires subdivision into topics, each of which should be made the subject of a paragraph.
This was a sentence written in a grammar book, so I assume this is grammatical, even though I believe it is not.
Isn't this a comma splice? Two independent clauses are joined by a comma.
Or is 'each of which' the beggining of a relative clause? Is it just like beggining with 'which' but it has 'each of' to help with the descritption of 'topics?'
Cheers.
