Conjunctions in PravicIn tvo-Pravic, a conjunction ties two meanings together, creating a third meaning which is the combination of the two meanings (this is largely the same as in English). The conjunctions themselves are about consequence-values - the truth or effect of the first meaning (A) determines the truth or effect of the second meaning (B); or vice versa; or the truth or effects of A and B determine the truth of the combination of meanings (C). A meaning in terms of conjunctions can be a single word, a phrase or a sentence. However, only balanced meanings can be conjoined - you cannot put a conjunction between, say, a word and a sentence, only between words, between phrases or between sentences. |
