Part 14 (1/2)

The word _as_ is a relative pronoun only after ”such” or ”same” After ”such” the proper relative is ”as”; after ”same” it is ”as” or ”that”

”_Same as_ usually expresses identity of kind, _same that_ absolute identity, except in contracted sentences where _same as_ is alone found: cf 'he uses the same books _as_ you do,' 'he uses the same books _that_ you do,' he uses the same books as you'”[56]
