a: Relative clause ~
b: a sentence with a noun phrase missing
What: "A relative clause is like a sentence with a noun phrase missing that is used to modify a noun or pronoun. For example, in "The woman I saw yesterday was here again today", the part "I saw yesterday" is a relative clause. The direct object of "saw" is missing, and the clause modifies "woman"."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
