Una relativa reducida es una relativa especificativa a la que le quitas el pronombre y el auxiliar para que suene más ágil y natural. Si la acción es activa, el verbo pasa a -ing (the man who is waiting → the man waiting); si es pasiva, pasa a participio (the book which was written → the book written). Es un recurso muy típico del inglés escrito y de quien da un salto de nivel: dice lo mismo con menos palabras.
