Hello,
I’ve come across an explanation that doesn’t appear to make sense to me. On Page 85, an explanation is given for understanding linkage. The example then diagrams what the example would look like with all the rules drawn out. One of the rules is that X and W cannot speak consecutively, meaning that “XW” and “WX” cannot happen. The example then goes on to add that “X is 3 or 5”.
Now, the explanation diagrams these rules, however, the text claims that “W” can not go 4th- which I agree with and understand. However, wouldn’t that also would mean that “W” cannot go 2nd or 6th? Since doing so would allow for “XW” and “WX” to happen. The diagram does not make that distinction so I would like to know if there’s something I missed during this example? Hope you can help!
