  • Status of capitalization in the Corporation warrants more discussion. Should we think of it as a proper noun? Notably, Corporation refers to a single entity, but that referential relationship exists only within a subsection of the code. (C.f. the Geneva Convention; the United States).

  • Are there arguments against attaching "after it is conveyed..." lower in the tree, at attack or defeat?
  • by-PPs "by any person" and "by the Corporation" should be :Comp, not :Mod

"By" PP Mod->Comp

"the Corporation" and attachment of "after" PP still need fixing/discussion

  • Purpose of use is salient in a way that's not for most verbs. Suggests that "to attack or defeat..." is :Comp not :Mod.
  • Status of such may need to change after resolution of "such" in legalese: D? Determiner? cgel#136 -- such will likely enter the determinative category.
  • "To comply with such provisions..." get rid of the GAP and the extra :Nom layer and turn :Postnucleus function to :Comp... the GAP analysis is justified if there's reason to believe that a canonical word order is being disrupted by heavy shift. (Not clear that's the case here).
