Conceptually, how should AND work with templates and linking on from them? E.g., given Template X = (-1 x) AND (1 y LINK 1 z) ; used in a context (1 m LINK T:X LINK 1 n) where does the n look at? With OR, this is simple - look at the context that matched. With AND, it should conceptually look at both branches? That almost certainly doesn't make sense linguistically. Could make a new modifier to mark which branch to continue from. -- Tino Didriksen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Constraint Grammar" group.
