が/の swap in relative clauses

syntax

1 sentence

Inside a noun-modifying (relative) clause, the subject can be marked with either が or の — 背の高い人 / 背が高い人 both mean 'a tall person.' The の variant tends to sound smoother in short attributive clauses; が is preferred when the clause is longer or contains its own object.
