In semantics and syntax, conjunction is the combination of two sentences or clauses with 'and'.
Comments
In propositional logic, the conjunction of two formulas Phi and Psi, written Phi & Psi, is true if both Phi and Psi are true, otherwise it is false. The truth table of conjunction is therefore as follows:
Phi Psi Phi & Psi
1 1 1
1 0 0
0 1 0
0 0 0
Polysemy
Conjunction is also used in the sense 'coordinator or subordinator' (see conjunction (i.e. connective)).
