(1,965 words)

Coordination (includes Asyndeton)

(4,713 words)

Author(s): Dagmar Muchnová
Abstract Coordination is commonly understood as a syntactic relation between two or more constituents at the same syntactic level, with the same or similar semantic (or pragmatic) function. These constituents may be words or phrases, subordinated clauses, or main sentences. The relation is expressed by lexical devices (syndetic coordination) or intonational/graphic devices (asyndetic coordination). In modern literature, the coordinative function is often restricted to copulative, adversative and disjunctive coordination. 1. Definition of Coordination, Asyndeton, …
