WHAT DOES NONRESTRICTIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Non-restrictive clause

A non-restrictive clause is a clause in which a noun phrase is used to avoid repetition is determined by its antecedent where the dependent is peripheral in the secondary constituent, as opposed to a restrictive clause, where the dependent is central to its primary constituent. A non-restrictive clause does not identify the referent of its noun, but only provides information about it. Restrictive example: The officer helped the civilians who had been shot. or The officer helped those civilians who had been shot. In this example, there is no comma before "who". Therefore, what follows is a restrictive clause. Non-restrictive example: The officer helped the civilians, who had been shot. Here, there is a comma before "who". Therefore, what follows is a non-restrictive clause. It changes the sentence to mean that all the civilians had been shot.
