Other terms for logical connective which may be encountered include:

• Connective
• Truth-functional connective
• Propositional connective
• Sentential connective
• Logical constant
• Logical operator
• Sentence-forming operator
• Boolean operator (in the context of mathematical logic)
• Conjunction (as used in natural language; mathematics has a more specialised use for the term conjunction, however)
