Imperative ConjunctionsRight Node RaisingNon-Boolean Reading

Abstract

The paper discusses a surprisingly non-Boolean reading of German imperative conjunctions. I explore the conceptual and empirical disadvantages of a semantic analysis as given by Arthur Merin, and argue that a syntactic solution can do better, showing that the data in question can be captured as instances of Right Node Raising.
