co-ordination (also conjunction, juncture)<br />

1 Syntactic structure which consists <strong>of</strong> two or more conjuncts (=words, phrases, or<br />

clauses). Co-ordination can occur as an asyndetic ( asyndeton) construction, where<br />

the individual elements are not connected with conjunctions, or as a syndetic construction<br />

where the individual elements are connected by a co-ordinating conjunction (<strong>and</strong>, or,<br />

but). The ‘connection’ established by conjunctions refers to morphological <strong>and</strong> syntactic<br />

as well as to semantic <strong>and</strong> pragmatic aspects. The syntactic description <strong>of</strong> co-ordination<br />

in the framework <strong>of</strong> transformational grammar focuses mainly on the typology <strong>of</strong> coordinating<br />

constructions as well as on the assumed deletion procedures <strong>and</strong> conditions<br />

involved (=conjunction reduction, gapping). On co-ordination in formal logic,<br />
