Under '''Some Scope Creep''', {{t|bu kuq jí sá}} means ¬(∃x {{t|kuq jí x}}) and {{t|ao kuq jí sá}} means AO(∃x {{t|kuq jí x}}), just like in NSC — but {{t|shoe kuq}} still acts like an atomic verb as in vanilla Toaq, and so {{t|shoe kuq jí súq sá}} means ∃x {{t|shoe kuq jí súq x}}. | Under '''Some Scope Creep''', {{t|bu kuq jí sá}} means ¬(∃x {{t|kuq jí x}}) and {{t|ao kuq jí sá}} means AO(∃x {{t|kuq jí x}}), just like in NSC — but {{t|shoe kuq}} still acts like an atomic verb as in vanilla Toaq, and so {{t|shoe kuq jí súq sá}} means ∃x {{t|shoe kuq jí súq x}}. | ||
[[File:SerialAsConstituent.png|thumb|frame|"shoe kuq" as a constituent]] | [[File:SerialAsConstituent.png|thumb|frame|"{{t|shoe kuq}}" as a constituent. It's clear why things in TP and above make scopes but {{t|shoe}} does not.]] | ||
In fact, [[Laqme]] thinks we should analyze serial verbs as constituents, rather than using movement. In that case, it's natural that {{t|shoe}} would not introduce scope; rather, {{t|shoe kuq}} can somehow be considered a V, reflecting that serials and atomic verbs ''really are'' syntactically the same. (This would change the behavior of {{t|ru}}, but perhaps for the better!) | In fact, [[Laqme]] thinks we should analyze serial verbs as constituents, rather than using movement.
