Figure 2: Conjunctive vs. Disjunctive Multidimensional Adjectives 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 Disjunctive adjectives, on the other hand, only require that one of their un- derlying dimensions falls in the appropriate range. Consider, for example, the multidimensional adjective ‘nonidentical’, There are a number of dimensions along which two boxes can be nonidentical, but it only requires one of these to judge that the two boxes are nonidentical. Two boxes can fail to be identical because they are different colors, different lengths, or different heights. As seen in Figure 2, conjunctive multidimensional adjectives must rise above the neces- sary contextual threshold in all of their relevant dimensions, while disjunctive multidimensional adjectives only need to fall below the threshold in at least one of their relevant dimensions.
