'conjoined or additive action(s)'
It's the difference between 'and' and 'also'. I would add a plural to 'actions' because there have to be two of them in order for this morpheme to do its job. The author was probably focused on the fact that it refers to the upcoming action, but it also refers to the preceding action.
Regarding 'additive', I couldn't find any linguistic references to "additive action," and I understand why. 'Additive' is really a subset of 'conjoined' in the context of conjoined actions. It would mean conjoined with an 'additive' meaning added (forgive the pun). In English, in formal speech we would to use two words and say "and also." In informal speech we would add a supresegmental: "She is singing AND dancing." Also, maybe "PLUS" in some contexts: "He was pitching PLUS playing first base."
