Ordering (p. 28) [via PaperHive@docloop] #306

Regarding this part:

Asudeh et al. (2014) impose the order-specific constraints in the glue part of their semantic expressions. For instance, the Benefactive tem- plate refers to arg 2 and arg 3 and consumes respective resources in a specified order.

I'm afraid this isn't quite right. We impose no real ordering on the arguments, rather relying on the glue terms being resolved in such a way that only the correct 'orders' are valid (kind of like constraint satisfaction). So for us there is no equivalent of ordering arguments as in the LMT approach above or in the analysis you provide in chapter 7, which involves splicing of an ARG-ST list in capturing the benefactive. The apparent order in glue terms is illusory, as linear logic is a commutative logic (see discussion in Asudeh 2012, chapter 5. OUP). In fact, a glue implication can be reordered freely. See the discussion of currying at the bottom of page 87 in Asudeh (2012).

OK. Maybe I can reformulate this somehow. What I explain above this statement is exactly what you said. And your resource sensitive statements can apply in one order only and then you will end up with features and linkings of the right kind. So where you have a order of LR application in LR-based theories you have an order of application of semantic expressions in Glue Semantics.
