'''Conjunctions''' are LRUs that connect two other LRUs, phrases or clauses.

== Natural Language ==
In the UNL<sup>arium</sup> framework, conjunctions are classified as follows
*'''coordinating conjunctions (COO)''' join two or more items of equal syntactic importance ("and", "or", "but");
**'''correlative conjunctions (CRC)''' are pairs of conjunctions that work together to coordinate two items (both … and, (n)either … (n)or, not (only) … but (also)....);
*'''subordinating conjunctions (SCJ)''' introduce a dependent clause. They are further classified in:
**'''Complementizers (CMR)''' are special subordinating conjunctions that introduce complement clauses ("that" in "I know that he came");
**'''Adverbializers (AVR)''' are special subordinating conjunctions that introduce adverbial clauses ("after" in "I go after you go");
**'''Relativizers (RVZ)''' are special subordinating conjunctions that introduce relative clauses.

== UNL ==
In UNL, conjunctions are explicitly represented by attributes, except in case of complementizers ("if", "that", "whether") or when their semantic value may be inferred from the corresponding relation.
