3.1. Coordination of clauses

Coordination is the combination of at least two constituents (SYNTAX 2), often of the same syntactic category (such as noun phrases, verb phrases, or clauses) either through conjunction or juxtaposition. Conjunction refers to the connection of constituents through the use of conjunctions (LEXICON 3.9.1), juxtaposition refers to the coordination of constituents without the use of conjunctions, only by juxtaposing the two constituents one next to the other. This section illustrates how LIS coordinates clauses.
