<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Ann. It wasn't the coindexation of the

of modifiers/arguments and hadn't gotten to composite

<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>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>

</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>
