use of virgule in defining aing non-defining clause

[Elisângela Lopes da Silva]

Is it defining clause or not?

or
The brave sergeant, who was loved by his comrades, said nothing put them in danger.

The first is defining and the second non-defining.

Hmmm. Is that right? I have always known the virgule as a slash (/). Is this another AmE/BrE difference?

I don't know. All I know is that in French and Portuguese 'virgule' means comma. Perhaps it has a broader meaning that embraces other punctuation marks as well.

I am so sorry about "comma". It is true, virgule is French, vírgula is Portuguese and virgola is Italian.

No problem. I learned something new.
