The origin of restriction is discussed in the article, its functioning in the language, typological peculiarities of the restricting expressions and the possibilities of their lexical and grammatical expressions. Making inuence for the part of the sentence that it is aimed at the restriction it excludes from the negative eld and it emphasies. So, in the language it has a double function; in this case it can be compared to the logical emphasis.
