The meaning of "and" in noun phrase conjunctions differs from its ordinary Boolean interpretation in other cases of conjunction, such as sentential and predicate conjunction. More precisely, this is the case when the noun phrases conjoined are referrring terms. A regular Boolean interpretation is still possible whenever two or more quantificational NPs are conjoined. Disjunction is always a Boolean operation. A semantics based on the notion of set formation is provided to deal with conjunctions of referring terms and compared to other proposals in this area, such as Link's lattice-theoretical approach. The present proposal has certain advantages, including the fact that it does not require conjunction to be an associative operation.
