- In English, linking elements are the conjunction and, the disjunction or and the adversative linker but, collectively called COORDINATORS. The units that are coordinated will be called COORDINANDS in this article (CONJUNCTS, when linked by conjunction, DISJUNCTS, when linked by the disjunctive connector).
- 2007 July 14, Timothy Chan, “Belief, assertion and Moore’s Paradox”, in Philosophical Studies, volume 139, number 3, :
- Asserting a conjunction would be irrational if the epistemic grounds for one conjunct defeat those for the other, for example when the two conjuncts are logically inconsistent.
