It is true that there may be different kinds of scopes, and they may coexist in a language. That is why I distinguished them in my answer. You can say: I am going up one level of static scoping, or of dynamic scope. There may be other kinds of scopes considered, or imported scopes. I do not see what makes you unhappy, and why you do not like my answer. Scoping denotes a general problem of visibility, and you can qualify specific ways of dealing with it. | |

The purpose of the first sentence is to show that the particular hierarchy on the web is referred to as the DOM. other hierarchies we know of in CS are stack, heap, AR/ARIs, etc.... I am wondering what the name for the hierarchy that deals with scopes as the members in the organization. Simply saying 'I jump up one level of scope' doesn't seem clear enough given that there are different scoping structures. I want to say I moved up three levels on the X. What is X?

| Nov 18, 2014 at 21:05 | comment | added | babou | There is an old name that was created in part for that in old statically scoped languages, starting with Algol 60 (possibly Algol 58). It was called block structure, and the languages were referred to as block structured languages. But I do not know if this is still much in use. The concept of Block scope seems still in use. | |

While it is a hierarchy, I am wondering if *this* specific hierarchy has a name. I will be referencing it several times in a scholarly article, and to my knowledge, this is not named. I feel that scope hierarchy or the like is not clear or definitive enough.
