TL;DR: In this article, the distinction between restrictive relatives and nonrestrictive relatives was made by using syntactic dummy symbols (as they were subsequently called) to capture the (semantic) distinction between restrictors and non restrictors.
Abstract: Our understanding of relativization has benefited rather sparsely from recent advances in semantic knowledge. As a glance at Stockwell, Schachter and Partee (1973), or Burt (1971), or Langacker (1972) will show, relativization is generally accounted for in terms of syntactic rather than semantic processes. This follows an approach laid down in its basic outlines by Carlota Smith in 1964 (my subsequent references to this paper, however, cite the pagination of the 1969 printing in Reibel and Schane, 1969, so I shall henceforth call the paper 'Smith, 1969'). Smith attempted to capture the (semantic) distinction between restrictive relatives and nonrestrictive relatives by using syntactic dummy symbols (as they were subsequently called). Thus:
