Eglish has coordinate endocentric constructions of several subtypes. One, which might be called “additive”, often but not always involves the marker ‘and’: ‘men and women’; ‘red and green’ [...]. Another subtype might be called “alternative”, and involves the marker ‘or’: ‘men or women’; ‘(Did he come) yesterday or today?’ ‘Red or green (lights)’. Other coordinate constructions are illustrated by ‘both John and Bill’; ‘neither John nor Bill’ [...].
