| conjunctive conjunction |
| Definition:
A conjunction — such as and — that in addition to grammatically connecting words also connects them semantically by emphasizing their connectedness. Note: As opposed to disjunctive conjunctions that though also grammatically connective show semantic opposition. |
| Example:
He is tall and handsome.
Note: This is in contrast to the disjunctive The boy was quick-witted but slow-footed. |
