conj: Conjunct
Definition
conj refers to words that are coordinated as equals within a sentence, either between sentence elements or clauses.
Characteristics
- The conj tag applies to words that are syntactically equivalent and linked as equals within a coordinated structure. The conj tag is dependent on the preceding element with which it shares an equal relationship.
- When conj is tagged on nouns within a sentence, the coordination is typically marked by JC(Postposition_conjunctive, 접속 조사) such as ‘와/과’. When conj is tagged on predicates, the coordination is generally indicated by EC(Ending_connecting, 연결 어미) such as ‘고’ or ‘-(으)나’.
- Examples:
- 미국이나 일본을 가면 어때요?
- 협동과 경쟁 모두 중요하다고 생각합니다.
- 밥을 먹거나 영화를 보자.
- 방학에 수영을 하고 축구를 합니다.

Differences with related tags
- conj vs. flat (Flat expression):
- Both the conj and flat tags apply to nouns in an equal relationship, with both tags depending on the preceding noun that is equally related to the tagged noun.
- While conj is typically used when nouns are connected by postpositions such as ‘와/과’, ‘하고’, ‘(이)나’, or ‘(이)랑’, the flat tag is generally applied when nouns are listed consecutively without connectors.
- conj: 저는 영화랑 다큐멘터리를 봤습니다.
- flat: 김 선생님이 오셨습니다.
