1 Introduction
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper discusses the formalization of relative clauses in Japanese based on JPSG (Japanese Phrase Structure Grammar)\[I, 2\], which is a constraint-based grammar formalism like tlPSG(Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar)\[7, 8\]. We have worked on JPSG with Prof. Gunji, and also have developed a parser based on an efficient mechanism for dealing with constraints\[3, 4, 10\] to show that JPSG is effective even for the computational processing of natural language.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In the next section, we briefly introduce JPSG theory. Following a simple characterization of relative clauses in Japanese language in section 3, we disscuss the variety of acceptability in secton 4, and describe its formalization in terms of constraints among the grammatical features in section 5. And in section 6 we will claim that there is a constraint on tile number of slash elements and show tile supporting facts.</Paragraph>
