We extracted a list of multi-word conjunctions, such as as if,
in order, and for all (that), from [#!quirk85!#]. For the
most part, the components of the complex are all anchors, as shown in
Figures 16.2(a). In one case, as ADV as, there is a great
deal of latitude in the choice of adverb, so this is a substitution
site (Figures 16.2(b)). This multi-anchor treatment is very
similar to that proposed for idioms in [#!AS89!#], and the analysis
of light verbs in the XTAG grammar (see section 6.16).
