Based upon a semantic/cognitive definition of noun phrase conjunction, encoding ofthis domain is examined in a sample of260 languages. Languages can be shown to contrast typologically in that they may have two formally different Strategien to encode noun phrase conjunction (viz·, a Coordinate Strategy and a Comitative Strategy), or just one strategy. This leads to a differentir » ation between ΑΝΌ-languages and VflTH-languages. 1t is demonstrated that wnn-languages exhibit a tendency to "drift" towards AND-status. Furthermore, the geographical distribution of ΑΝΌ-languages and VflTH-languages is described. It turns out that this distribution shows remarkable correspondences to the areal distribution of at least two other binary parameters, viz» the Casedness Parameter and the Tensedness Parameter.
