What is "scope"?
In linguistics, scope refers to the range or extent that a word, phrase, or operator, such as a negation or quantifier, affects within a sentence. For example, in the sentence "All students did not pass the exam," the scope of "not" can change the meaning. It could mean that none of the students passed, or that not all students passed. Understanding scope is important for clarifying the intended meaning of a sentence, as different interpretations can arise depending on how far the influence of a word or phrase extends.
