History: scope of selbri tcita

Source of version: 2

I believe the current prescription is that scope follows left-to-right, except for {na} (or NA?), which has maximally wide scope over the bridi. This exception is a pointless complication that leads to confusion. It should be done away with. (The only defence of it has come from Nora (on jboske & phpbb), hingeing on the interpretation of nago'i. This is addressed on phpbb & will be recapped on the wiki in due course when we get round to writing up something on the interpretation of bridi anaphora.) The scope rules, then, are as follows: * outer has scope over inner * for two elements at the same level, either (a) the former has scope over the latter, or (b) they have 'coordinate' scope (defined on ((Discussion: Three dogs attacked four men))). Disambiguation between (a) and (b) is done either by glorking or by BAhE-subord/BAhE-coord. ------------- ((xorxes)): We also need to consider the scope of quantifiers in tagged terms with respect to the scope of the tag. There seem to be two options: # Since the term appears to the right of the tag, the tag has scope over the quantifier. # Since the tag is essentially an extension of the selbri, the term's quantifier has scope over the tag (as it does over the selbri too).
