Our Contribution:
- Arguments against a homophony analysis (cf. Szabolcsi 2013, Slade 2011, Shimoyama 2007, Yat-
sushiro 2002, int. al.)
- conjunction universally has two morphemes, and and mo, and one tends to be silent
- disjunction universally involves two morphemes too, and and ka, but the pronunciation is more vari-
able 2 the argument against homophony Hagstrom (1998) and others: mo (‘and’) and mo (‘every’) are homophonous in Japanese. Two counterarguments:
- 1. within Japanese: coordinated quantifiers
- 2. historical: disappearance of Japanese-style (mo) coordination in Indo-European

- Indo-European (IE) shows a syntax (and semantics) of coordination that is consistent with (6)
- Earliest IE languages show that there existed two types of coordinate structure:
– one in which the coordinator occupies the initial (first), – and another in which the coordinator occupies the peninitial (second) position with respect to
the second conjunct.
- diachronically, only the initial structure survives (lost across all branches)
