| Abstract |
Pseudo-imperatives, a special kind of sentential conjunctions and disjunctions, display a surprisingly divergent preference bias. This paper aims to explain this pragmatic preference puzzle based on the different discourse segmentation behavior of conjunction and 'and' disjunction 'or'. To lend credence to the suggested explanation, related non-standard uses of conjunction and disjunction will be discussed in detail.
