[T2-Sn-19]There are two further high keys contained within example (14) which
function to particularize the lexical items they are attached to.^10 The reader
is told that no other lexical senses are available in the discourse context
other than greater and death. Sn projects an existential opposition between
these items and all other items which were available in the context. The
local meaning of the two particularized keys is that the words they are
attached to are given extra weight; the hearer is left in no doubt as to whose
determination is projected as being stronger and what it is that they are
determined to cause.
