<p>Hi Emily,</p>
<p>I suspect I'm totally misunderstanding, but ... <br>
</p>
<p>The answer to why do we ever care about the index would be
because there could be later attachment of non-scopal modifiers,
or auxiliaries affecting tense etc. <br>
</p>
<p>The dog had probably slept.<br>
</p>
But I guess you're asking about the coindexation of the scopal
modifier's index with the head's index - and it seems that doesn't
happen in the ERG at least for that example. At least, I've just
checked using the demo, and the ARG0 of `probably' is not coindexed
with the ARG0 of `slept'. <br>
<br>
All best,<br>
<br>

<div>I suspect I've asked questions similar to this one before,
but the answer has not stayed with me, so please forgive the
repeat.</div>

</div>
<div>In the Grammar Matrix, like the ERG, we are careful to pass
up the INDEX of the head daughter in scopal head-mod
structures (more precisely, the HOOK comes from the non-head
daughter, so the scopal modifiers themselves identify their
INDEX with their MOD's INDEX.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My question is: Why? What else in the grammar(s) ever
wants the index of the head inside that scopal-head-adj
structure? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
