Abstract:

In a coordination construction, which is universally available, two or
more syntactic constituents are combined, with or without an overt
coordinator. This Element examines how coordinate structures are
derived syntactically, focussing on the syntactic operations involved,
including constraints on both their operations and the representations
they produce. Specifically, considering the recent research
development in the syntax of coordination, the Element discusses
whether any special syntactic operation is required to derive various
coordinate constructions, including constructions in which each
conjunct has a gap, whether there is any special functional category
heading coordinate constructions in general, what the morphosyntactic
statuses of coordinators (i.e., conjunctions and disjunctions) are in
some specific languages, whether the structure of a coordinate
construction can be beyond the binary complementation structure, and
whether the mobility of conjuncts and the mobility of elements in
conjuncts require any construction-specific constraint on syntactic
operations.
