German coordinators

German coordinates with free words that stand before the second coordinand: und 'and', oder 'or', and two adversative coordinators, aber 'but' and the corrective sondern 'but rather', which requires a negated first coordinand. The emphatic conjunction is sowohl … als auch, neither member of which is the plain coordinator, and the emphatic disjunction entweder … oder.
