Conjunction and Disjunction</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Dear list members,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Recently, while using Mick O'Donnell's RST Tool, I noticed two
multinuclear relations listed there which I did not find defined on the RST
website or anywhere else. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could
help me find the definitions (preferably with examples) of the Conjunction and
Disjunction relations. Any citation for these would be very
helpful. Thank you.</DIV>
