The number of the subject of the pattern'either A or B'is closely related to grammatical meaning of the pattern. This relationship is not of strictly corresponding conformity, but of rather complicated correspondence. The grammatical meanings of the singular subject express presumption, except that the sentence with lexical markers'usually'or'times'has a grammatical meaning of juxtaposition; the grammatical meanings of multi sentence indicate juxtaposition except that the sentence with the lexical marker such as 'one of two' has a grammatical meaning of speculation.
