logical relationship
Alternative (A)
Classification: Coordinate
Definition: Each proposition expresses a different possibility arising from a situation.
Conjunctions: or, but, while, on the other hand, etc.
Distinctions: Negative-Positive
(Hover over a relationship to see how it differs.)
Alternative (A) vs Negative-Positive (-/+)
Alternative is different from Negative-Positive in that with Alternative, there are two options in the author/speaker's mind. Conversely, Negative-Positive acts like two sides of the same coin.
Also, Alternative is a Coordinate relationship (neither proposition is supporting the other) whereas Negative-Positive is Subordinate, the negative proposition supporting the positive.

I did not lie, but told him the whole story. (Negative-Positive)
