ABSTRACT

In statement logic this always joins WHOLE STATEMENTS. In English it can join other things as well.

(Revision) When do words (or a gesture, or whatever) express a statement?

Does 'and' link statements in (i) and (ii) below, if we analyse them to show their logical form? Rewrite them in a way that illustrates your answer. (Remember to look for what is being stated, not just the surface form.)

Hansel and Gretel are children.

Hansel and Gretel are brother and sister.

What about 'and' in 'Paul and Evangeline are married'?
