22 xRjx not! Jay respects everyone Jay doesn’t respect everyone ‘not’ ( ) has wide scope ‘every’ ( ) has narrow scope
23
23 ‘any’ ( ) has wide scope ‘not’ ( ) has narrow scope Rjx xx Jay does not respect xno matter who x is Jay does not respect youno matter who you are etc. Rjcno!does Jay respect c? Rjbno!does Jay respect b? Rja no!does Jay respect a? Jay doesn’t respect anyone ?Rjc ?Rjb ?Rja
