Anchors for non-adverbial adjuncts #18

Open jonathanrobie opened 7 years ago

jonathanrobie commented 7 years ago

For nested constituents, we need a better way to indicate the anchor for an adjunct. Consider the following:

   v ἐλπίσατε
    o ἐπὶ
        τὴν φερομένην ὑμῖν χάριν
        + ἐν ἀποκαλύψει Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.

As Randall pointed out, that is not clear enough, we need to signal that the adjunct modifies φερομένην. This may require a new notation, perhaps a character that indicates an anchor, e.g.

   v ἐλπίσατε
    o ἐπὶ
        τὴν ~φερομένην ὑμῖν χάριν
        + ἐν ἀποκαλύψει Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.

It might be better to characterise this as extraposition rather than "nesting".

Yeah. My bad.
