Abstract
Despite their differences, the NP/S, Relational/S and S/S Analyses face a number of problems which they share in common These problems arise from the following claim, which is made in all three analyses: If a sentence containing conjoined noun phrases is logically equivalent to a corresponding sentence containing conjoined clauses, then the original sentence is represented at LF by a structure containing sentential conjunction. For example, in all three analyses, the sentence John and Maly are asleep will receive a logical form essentially like John is asleep and Mary is asleep.
