Syntactic function NPab{Nab1&Nab2}

abstract complex noun; construction type: a conjunction of two abstract nominals

[THE BRACKET NEEDS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE FIELD "CONSTRUCTION TYPE"]

Through this category I am trying to capture the difference between antonym compounds like 大小 indicating a dimension and additive compounds like 短長 "strong points and weak points". Probably, a fair number of what have been preliminarily classified as [N1antN2] should be considered for reclassification as [N1&N2]. Compare [Nab1antNab2] This has to be sorted out. 待考
