Referencing environment and scope
14,505
Yes. The referencing environment is the collection of variables which can be used. In a static scoped language, you can only reference the variables in the static reference environment.
A function in a static scoped language does have dynamic ancestors (i.e. its callers), but it can not reference any variables declared in that ancestor.

In any programming language, is the type of referencing environment dependent on the scoping? i.e. a static scoped language would necessarily have static referencing environment?
