Coordination

Zusatztext Among the clear strenghts of this book is the coverage of data, both as to the number of languages taken into account and the many different and unusual types of coordination data discussed. The book is also easy to read ... Although I do not aways agree with the proposals that are made, the boldness with which they are argued for is often impressive and actually makes reading this book quite entertaining. Zusammenfassung Part of the "Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax" series, this volume is a study of co-ordination, i.e. structures with conjunctions such as "and", "but", and "or", arguing that these are important words in their constructions, rather than being unimportant and superfluous.
