In the generative syntax, '''binding''' refers to a relation in which the reference of a certain element is dependent on the reference of another element.

In semantics, '''binding''' is a term that is used to refer the relation obtaining between a [[quantifier]] All(''v'') or Exists(''v'') and the occurrences of the [[variable]] ''v'' in its [[scope]]:

(i) All(''v'')[ ... ''v'' ... ]
(ii) Exists(''v'')[ ... ''v'' ... ]

===Comments===
In the following formula only the first occurrence of ''x'' is bound by All but not the second (which is not in the [[scope]] of All):

(iii) All(''x'')[P(''x'') -> Q(''y'')] & R(''x'')

The first occurrence of ''x'' is called a [[bound variable]], the second occurrence is called a [[free variable]].
