This chapter provides an extensive discussion of coordination. Section 38.1 begins by considering some general properties of coordinate structures and their constituting parts, followed by an examination of some typical syntactic properties of coordinate structures. Section 38.2 first considers in more detail the differences between monosyndetic, polysyndetic and asyndetic coordinate structures. Section 38.3 investigates certain (putative) properties of their coordinands, including co-occurrence restrictions on coordinands, their island behavior, the recursivity of coordination, and the ability of coordinate structures to split, as in Ik heb Peter gisteren gezien en Marie I saw Peter yesterday, and Marie. Section 38.4 concludes with more detailed information about the syntactic behavior, interpretation and use of some individual coordinators.
