This article treats the chunk ’lian...dou’ as a complex conjunction on the ground that the sentence thatfollows the sentence in which the chunk’ lian...dou’ occurs is often incomplete. The interpretation of theincomplete sentence, or the sentence fragment, calls for the restoration of the elided constituents by re-construction. Moreover, the proposition expressed by the sentence fragment is entailed by the propositionexpressed by the sentence in which the chunk ’lian...dou’ occurs. Following Montague’s rule-to-rulehypothesis, we can take the entailment inherent in the whole construction as the syntactic reflex in its se-mantics. Since the entailment is obviously induced by the chunk ’lian...dou’, we treat it as a complexconjunction.Section 1 demonstrates that the sentence that follows the sentence in which the chunk ’lian...dou’ occursis not independent and in many ways is similar to the ’ruguo...(name)’ construction.Section 2 develops a scalar model based on Fillmore et al (1988) for the semantic inter
