responding to Maite Taboada:
Your data on English and Spanish are very interesting.  The numbers are, to me,
surprisingly high.  Perhaps that has something to do with the oral/written
differences.  In oral interaction, a conjunction will "hold the floor open."
But the numbers are all under 50%.  So the question is ripe: How do people cope
with finding coherence when so much is unsignaled?
I know of a number of partial answers, but so far in my estimation, the partial
answers do not add up to a whole answer.
Thanks for your message.
