        Theory-Neutral Semantic Data for Non-Constituent Coordination

        The core empirical observation is a semantic equivalence:

        "John likes and Mary hates beans" ≡ "John likes beans and Mary hates beans"

        This is theory-neutral: we don't presuppose any logical formalism, just that native speakers judge these sentences to have the same meaning (same truth conditions, same entailments, intersubstitutable in any context).

        • sentence : List String

          The non-constituent coordination sentence

        • equivalentTo : List String

          The semantically equivalent spelled-out version

        • bothGrammatical : Bool

          Both are grammatical

                  A theory captures non-constituent coordination if it derives equivalent meanings for both sentences in a SemanticEquivalence pair.
