English coordinators

English coordinates with free words that stand before the second coordinand: and, or, but and, after a negative, nor. The emphatic constructions pair a distinct first word with the plain coordinator: both … and, either … or, neither … nor.

Main definitions

• English.Coordination.and_, English.Coordination.or_, English.Coordination.but_, English.Coordination.nor_: the conjunctive, disjunctive, adversative and negative coordinators.
• English.Coordination.bothAnd, English.Coordination.eitherOr, English.Coordination.neitherNor: the emphatic constructions.
