relative prepositional phrases
Can prepositional phrases that aren't relitive be treated as such?
For example, "He ran up the stairs of his basement apartment in the slums." In that sentence, 'in the slumbs' is nonrelitive because he only has one apartment. Does the relitive/nonrelitive rule apply to prepositional phrases?
