Coordinating Constructions
This is the first book on coordinating constructions that adopts a broad cross-linguistic perspective. Coordination has been studied intensively in English and other major European languages, but we are only beginning to understand the range of variation that is found world-wide. This volume consists of a number of general studies, as well as fourteen case studies of coordinating constructions in languages or groups of languages: Africa (Iraqw, Fongbe, Hausa), the Caucasus (Daghestanian, Tsakhur, Chechen), the Middle East (Persian and other Western Iranian languages), Southeast Asia (Lai, Kare
English Coordinate Constructions
Drawing on extensive corpus-based research, this book explores the nature of coordinate constructions in three case studies, covering order in copulative compounds, binomials, and more complex phrases. The author uses empirical analyses to explore a wide range of factors and also offers readers a processing perspective on the results obtained.
Subordination Versus Coordination In Sentence And Text

The contributions in part I are concerned with central theoretical questions; part II consists of corpus-based cross-linguistic studies of clause combining and discourse structure, involving at least two of the languages English, German, Du
Co Compounds And Natural Coordination
This typological survey and analysis of co-compounds considers topics such as the notion of word, markedness, the syntax and semantics of coordination, grammaticalization, and lexical semantics, and draws on the author's original research on a wide range of languages.
