--1 Conjunction: Coordination
-- Coordination is defined for many different categories; here is
-- a sample. The rules apply to *lists* of two or more elements,
-- and define two general patterns:
-- - ordinary conjunction: X,...X and X
-- - distributed conjunction: both X,...,X and X
--
--
-- $VP$ conjunctions are not covered here, because their applicability
-- depends on language. Some special cases are defined in
-- [``Extra`` ../abstract/Extra.gf].

ConjS : Conj -> [S] -> S ; -- "John walks and Mary runs"
ConjAP : Conj -> [AP] -> AP ; -- "even and prime"

DConjAP : DConj -> [AP] -> AP ; -- "both even and prime"
DConjNP : DConj -> [NP] -> NP ; -- "either John or Mary"

--2 List constructors
-- The list constructors are derived from the list notation and therefore
-- not given explicitly. But here are their type signatures:
-- BaseC : C -> C -> [C] ; -- for C = S, AP, NP, Adv
-- ConsC : C -> [C] -> [C] ;
}
--.
-- *Note*. This module uses right-recursive lists. If backward
-- compatibility with API 0.9 is needed, use
-- [SeqConjunction SeqConjunction.html].
