Syntax

Let’s start very humbly, even though the point is obvious and may be made very briefly The brochure coordinates different objects, differ­ent TSR2s, in part by means of syntax. Exhibit 2.2 is an example of this: TSR2 is a weapons system, or so we learn; it is capable of recon­naissance roles; it is capable of nuclear roles; it is capable of high – explosive strike roles; it is capable of operating in all weathers; and it is capable of doing so with a minimum of ground support facilities. How then is TSR2 made into a single object, rather than four or five? Of course the answer is by syntax. What might be several aircraft are being grammatically turned into one.4
