When comparing two nouns, those nouns are joined by a conjunction forming a compound subject or object.
That conjunction is called a coordinating conjunction, which indicates that the words, phrases, or clauses joined are of equal value.
Two nouns being compared are often preceded by a conjunction called a correlating conjunction (between the sink and the stove; either today or tomorrow; both mom and dad).
When an adjective is added to a noun, a noun phrase is formed.
Examples:
- Soup or salad is included with the entree. ('soup or salad' is the compound subject of the sentence)
- We can have soup or salad with our entree. ('soup or salad' is the compound direct object of the verb 'can have')
- Hot soup or salad is included with the entree. (adding the adjective 'hot' to the noun 'soup' forms a noun phrasejoined to the noun 'salad', forming the compound subject of the sentence)
- I don't care for either soup or salad. (the correlating conjunction 'either' modifies the compound object of the preposition 'for')
- I don't care for either hot soup or raw salad. (adding the adjectives 'hot' and 'raw' to the nouns forms two noun phrases as the compound object of the preposition 'for')
