Title: Connectives and their alternatives
Abstract: Natural languages are often equipped with multiple forms of conjunction and of disjunction (which is potentially universally the case). English, for example, has (at least) two conjunctions—'both A and B' and 'A and B'—and (at least) two disjunctions—'either A or B' and 'A or B'. Importantly, these forms have different interpretive properties and are not (always) interchangeable. We propose that the core difference between each pair has to do with what alternatives they can be associated with, and their interpretive differences crop up with respect to what we call alternative-sensitive phenomena such as QuD-sensitivity, association with focus, and scalar inferences.
