-embedded constituent to a containing constituent. If the sentence had
-been *Everyone_i thinks Bill said he_i left*, there would be an
-occurrence of *g* in the most deeply embedded clause (*he left*), and
-another occurrence of *g* in the next most deeply
-embedded constituent (*said he left*), and so on (see below).

-Third, binding is accomplished by applying *z* not to the element that
-will (in some pre-theoretic sense) bind the pronoun, here, *everyone*,
-but by applying *z* instead to the predicate that will take *everyone*
-as an argument, here, *thinks*. The basic recipe in Jacobson's system
-is that you transmit the dependence of a pronoun upwards through the
-tree using *g* until just before you are about to combine with the
-binder, when you finish off with *z*.
