Dictionary of language and linguistics 256Thus Z.S.Harris defined his transformations as the formal relationship betweenstructures which have the same number of individual co-occurrences.distributionalismReferencesco-ordinate bilingualismbilingualismco-ordinating conjunctionconjunctionco-ordination (also conjunction, juncture)1 Syntactic structure which consists of two or more conjuncts (=words, phrases, orclauses). Co-ordination can occur as an asyndetic ( asyndeton) construction, wherethe individual elements are not connected with conjunctions, or as a syndetic constructionwhere the individual elements are connected by a co-ordinating conjunction (and, or,but). The ‘connection’ established by conjunctions refers to morphological and syntacticas well as to semantic and pragmatic aspects. The syntactic description of co-ordinationin the framework of transformational grammar focuses mainly on the typology of coordinatingconstructions as well as on the assumed deletion procedures and conditionsinvolved (=conjunction reduction, gapping).
