2 neither...or...疑问

《经济学家》里的一句话:That would involve changing the treaty, something neither Argentina or Brazil is likely to accept, thinks Rubens Barbosa, who was Brazils first Mercosur co-ordinator.

字典里明确说明neither不能和or搭配。这里算是typo还是可以这样用?

谢谢各位大咖专家老师!

语法书说,neither ... nor... 构成关联并列连词。但的确有人使用 neither... or... 的。我在COCA语料库搜索neither,有7万多条结构,按照顺序在前300条结果中记录neither...nor... neither...or... 的例句100个,其中前者83条,后者17条,二者比例大约为5:1. 通过这个搜素结果,我们可以看出neither...or...的使用并不是个例,而是有一定的使用比例的。我们不应说这是错误的用法,但至少可以认为这是不大规范的用法。阅读时理解其句义即可,不必惊讶。自己写作时避免使用即可。有趣的是,word文档提示neither…or…为语法错误。以下为几个COCAneither...or...的例句:

 

Neither the Dems or the Repubs have the balls to follow through.

Shame that Android is neither free or open.

However, neither Jefferson or Congress declared war on Tripoli, even though the Pasha of Tripoli made ...

we are heading into winter with neither a la nina or el nino event.

Hey, remember I am neither democrat or republican; ...

I am neither surprised or astonished that here is a mosque going up at the site of 9-11...

So, to have or followed a religious faith, is neither irrational thinking or a waste of one's time.

I have neither the time or the energy to fight yet another bunch of smug,

You'll neither worry about the quality or the amount spent.
