<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div><br></div><div>I'm curious about the different in analysis between neg_rel and (other) scopal adverbial </div><div>modifiers on the one hand and modals on the other in the treatment of the INDEX:</div><div><br></div><div>In (1) and (2), the INDEX of the whole MRS points to the ARG0 of _sleep_v_rel:</div><div><br></div><div>(1) Kim doesn't sleep.</div><div>(2) Kim probably sleeps.</div><div><br></div><div>... where in (3) and (4) it points to the ARG0 of _can_v_rel and _would_v_rel respectively:</div><div><br></div><div>(3) Kim can sleep.</div><div>(4) Kim would sleep.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm wondering what difference we intend to model here. (This question comes up now</div><div>because we're looking at negation in my grammar engineering class, and the out-of-the-box</div><div>analysis for languages which express negation with an auxiliary has neg_rel falling</div><div>in the latter class.)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Emily</div><div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Emily M.
