6. 同位语从句和定语从句的区别

1) 同位语从句和先行词是同等的关系;而定语从句是用来修饰先行词，是从属的关系。

2) that在同位语从句中没有词义，不充当句子成分;而在定语从句中充当主语、宾语等句子成分。

3) whether, what, how可以用来引导同位语从句;而它们不能用来引导定语从句。

4) 1. 从词义角度看问题

who, whom, which, when, where, why用来引导同位语从句是保持原来疑问词的含义;它们用来引导定语从句时，不具有疑问词的含义。

2.从搭配角度看问题

who, whom, which, when, where, why用来引导定语从句时对应性很强，如：先行词是“人”，引导词用“who”等，而它们引导同位语从句是先行词通常是“question, idea, doubt等”。
