Abstract. The article deals with the pair of conjunctions ли… или… (whether... or...), the grammatical status of which is currently uncertain. Some researchers believe that this is an independent disjunctive conjunction; others think that in this case there is a positional interaction of different linguistic units. The author proposes to consider this pair of conjunctions as a lexico-syntactic variant of the conjunction ли… ли… (whether... whether...), which is conditioned by the general properties of the linear arrangement of the elements of speech.
Key words and phrases: союз, частица, синтаксическая связь, семантика, вариант, функциональный эквивалент, conjunction, particle, syntactic link, semantics, variant, functional equivalent
