disjunctive determiner

a grammatical element that is used to present alternative or contrasting options within a sentence or clause

A disjunctive determiner is a word used to present alternatives or choices between two or more items in a noun phrase. Common examples of disjunctive determiners include "either" and "neither." For instance, in the phrase "You can choose either option," the determiner "either" indicates a choice between two specific options. Similarly, in "Neither answer is correct," the determiner "neither" presents a choice that excludes both options. Disjunctive determiners are important for clarifying relationships among nouns and for expressing options or alternatives in communication, making it easier to understand choices being presented.
