XJ is used to for various idiomatic correlative conjunctions, such as:
+-----XJa-----+-----Spx----+
| +-SJls-+-SJrs-+ +--Pg*b-+
| | | | | |
both.d June.f and.j-n Tom.m are.v coming.v
+-----------Sp-----------+
| +-------XJb------+
| | +---VJl*i--+
| +_IBP+ | +_IBX+-VJr*i+
| | | | | | |
we not only ate.v-d but also drank.v-d
+---------Ost---------+
| +------XJo-----+
| | +-SJls-+--SJrs-+
| | | | |
it will be either.r this.p or.j-n that.j-p
+---------Ost----------+
| +------XJn------+
| | +-SJls-+--SJrs-+
| | | | |
it will be neither.r this.p nor.j-n that.j-p
+-------------------XJi-------------------+
| +----------Js---------+ |
+-----I----+ | +-------Ds------+ |
+--Sp--+ +_IBA+--I-+-MVp-+ | +---AN---+ +-Xd-+----I---+--Ox-+
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
you should.v not only ask.v for.p your money.n-u back.n , but.j-r demand.v it
This usage is probably a design flaw, ansd should be handled with the
XJb link instead. However, this style makes more sense for
the if...then... type constructions...
+------------XJc-----------+
+-----CV---->+ |
+--Cs--+-Ss*b+--Pa-+ +-VJr*i+--Os--+
| | | | | | |
if.j-c this.p is.v true.a then.j-c do.v that.j-p
This style is used only when obvious parts of the sentence are elided;
compare to the use of CO for
if this is true then you should do that
Other possible uses of this link (not currently implemented) might cover other idiomatic coordinating expressions, such as:
