초록

It is generally said that in English, only identical categories can be coordinated by coordinate conjunctions like and, but, or or. This equal syntactic category requirement on coordinates has a limited explanatory power, however, in that there exist cases where elements of the same grammatical category cannot be coordinated or elements of the different grammatical category can be coordinated. Given this, this paper aims to explore various constraints imposed on English coordination and account for the well- or ill-formedness of coordination in a principled manner. To this end, it makes these proposals: (i) elements of the different syntactic category can be coordinated to the extent that their grammatical functions are the same; (ii) for elements to be coordinated, they need to form semantico-pragmatic common meaning unit or a common topic, have the same thematic roles, and be equal in terms of semantic field and compatible with each other in speech acts.
