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
