That

"We distinguish three main classes of finite subordinate clauses:

I couldn’t find the book that I wanted (relative)

He gave me more copies that I wanted (comparative)

You know that I wanted it (content)" (Huddleston&Pullum)

Are three subordinators "that" semantically the same in the above?
