Difference in analysis: In “English 1,” [8] is seen as an adjunct to [7]. In “English 2,” [8] is seen as an argument of [7].
Reason: The first analysis sees [8] as an adverbial phrase of manner. But that would work only if such an adverbial phrase was a separate proposition – that is, if it had a predicate or could be rephrased as a clause, which isn’t the case here. The new analysis corrects this, seeing [8] as being short for “not in resolving disputes through the law of force.”
Consequence: None for the values recorded
