small correction: using NP-conjunction for ordered items (such as the
elements of a concatenation) is incorrect anyway because on the
DRS-level, the surface order of the NP-conjunction elements is lost.
For example, the paraphraser (which essentially verbalizes the DRS) is
allowed to paraphrase
(1) There are a man and a dog.
as
(2) There are a dog and a man.
