In grammar, correlatives are words that are separated in a sentence but function together to perform a single function. In English, examples are ''both—and, either—or, neither—nor, the—the'' ("the more the better"), ''so—that'' ("it ate so much food that it burst"), and ''if—then.'' In the Romance languages, the demonstrative pro-forms function as correlatives with the relative pro-forms, as ''autant—que'' in French; in English, demonstratives are not used in such constructions, which depend on the relative only: "I saw what you did", rather than *"I saw that, what you did". ==See also== *Pro-form (namely section Table of correlatives) *Correlative conjunction 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「correlative」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
