Abstract
Parsing-based theories of local contexts that either rely on strict linear order (Schlenker 2009) or c-command (Ingason 2016; Romoli & Mandelkern 2017) face a number of challenges, most notably in accounting for nominal modification (Schlenker 2020) and partitives (Anvari & Blumberg 2021) but also, depending on the theory, belief reports and coordination in head-final languages. To resolve such issues, I propose a hybrid theory which takes into account both linear order and syntactic structure: local context is calculated domain by domain, and for each maximal projection.
