A Predicate is said to apply in a particular Domain. The understanding of the relation between Domain and Predicate depends on the nature of the Predicate. When the Predicate is a complete proposition, then a Domain adverbial also functions as a topic restrictor. Sentences with topic restrictors often come in pairs. When the Predicate is a simple predicate, there is no notion of topic restriction on the sentence level.
