Dear Chris,

I have found something in Discourse Tagging Reference Manual written by 
Lynn Carlson and Daniel Marcu.

Disjunction is a multinuclear relation whose elements can be listed as 
alternatives, either positive or negative.

Examples:
[Call it a fad.] [Or call it the wave of the future.]

In the aerobic phase, for instance, lactic acid and lactate are still 
produced, [but they are consumed by less active muscles] [or metabolized 
in the liver] and so do not accumulate.

Conjunction is not mentioned at all.

Hope it helps
Jelisaveta
