I don’t know if the subject correctly describes what I’m looking for. I’d like to understand which option a conditional clause (and/or parenthetical expression) following a list of options is assumed to apply to and does this depend on how the list is expressed:

1

Option 1 expressed as adj1+noun1 или Option 2 expressed as adj2+noun1 при Condition (+Condition) —same noun repeated

2

Option 1 expressed as adj1 или Option 2 expressed as adj2+noun1 при Condition (+Condition) —noun only once

Do the conditions apply to both options or only the final one??

This is both a general question but more specifically related to interpreting legal texts. I tried four different AI bots and got three against one in terms of the interpretation. Sources from all four were just AI hallucinations.

  • Maybe somebody will understand you better, but you got me confused. Can you provide an example of such a sentence?

  • I second u/Sodinc. A few examples would be much welcome.

  • So uh let me try to decipher it by plugging in some random words... you mean like...

    1. При комнатной температуре цветут красные цветы или синие цветы.

    2. При комнатной температуре цветут красные или синие цветы.

    Like that?

    Structure 2 (not repeating the noun) sounds way more natural, but I have no idea about legal documents, those don't always follow what's natural in speech.

  • I doubt you can get proper legal advice here. From what I (not a lawyer) could research there's no definite rule and in case of discrepancies, a linguistic analysis is required
