As my previous post indicates, I have no problem with 4.8 even though I
think here that GAR connects the whole 4.8 to 4.7b. You said this about
GAR previously. If the GAR clause explains what was stated in the previous
sentence, we should say that the GAR clause "deveops or explains the idea
of
the whole sentence". Quite a long time ago, we talked about what the
negative particle OU negates. You said OU negates a particular constituent
of the
sentence. I said that OU negates the "focused proposition", the
proposition that focuses a particular constituent. You eventually agreed
with me,
because we were talking about the same thing. How about GAR?
Shouldn't GAR also develops or explains the focused proposition of the
previous
sentence? For a proposition always has the focus.
