Thanks for making me do some homework. I rarely use correlative conjunctions so I had to go back and do some research. But, the French do not consider or call these correlative conjunctions. They refer to them as repeated coordinating conjunctions. Les Conjonctions de Coordination. They are used for emphasis, just like English but I think we English speakers use them for comparison or framing a choice rather than emphasis. I hope these help. I had fun making the sentences.
"Je connais et Guy et sa mère. I know both Guy and his mother."
From this you gather why they are called repeated conjunctions. You merely place et/et where you would put both/and.
Tu peux ou regarder la télé ou jouer au foot. You can either watch TV or play soccer.
In this instance you place ou/ou before the action verbs where you would put either/or. This construct only works with verbs. It's a good idea to use a helping verb with this construct as well.
Soit avant, soit après, c'est le même à moi. Either before or after, it's all the same to me.
Again, the repeating element comes out strongly placing soit/soit before the timeframes or time restraints to mean either/or.
Elle ne mange ni viande, ni poisson. She eats neither meat nor fish.
In English this would seem like a double negative. In French it is perfectly good French. This is a repeating conjunction but the verb has to be made negative. So the pattern is, ne/ni/ni. And it means neither/nor.
