LA COMA (3)
a) Se coloca una coma antes o después de cualquier proposición no-restrictiva. Una proposición no-restrictiva es aquella que no limita o identifica a la palabra a la cual modifica. Es, por lo tanto, una proposición que no es necesaria para aclarar el sentido de la oración o la palabra que la modifica.
No se escribe absolutamente ninguna coma con proposiciones restrictivas. Ejemplo:
(No-restrictiva)
Mr. Jones , who is a skilled politician , has been very successful.
El Sr. Jones , quién es un habilidoso político , ha sido muy exitoso
(Restrictiva)
Any man who is a skilled politician will probably be very successful
Cualquier hombre quien es político habilidoso probablemente será muy exitoso
Puedes notar la diferencia de significado en las siguientes oraciones:
All my clothes which were in the trunk were stolen.
Todas mis ropas que estaban en el portaequipaje fueron robadas
All my chothes , which were in the trunk , were stolen
Todas mis ropas , que estaban en el portaequipaje , fueron robadas
