“…Coordination has also received many formal syntactic analyses. The conventional analyses developed from entirely "flat" (Chomsky 1957:36) structures to "layered" (binary branching) structures in, e.g., Thiersch (1993a), Munn (1993), Kayne 1994), Johannessen (1998), andZhang (2010). More innovative analyses include various forms of parallel and three-dimensional structures: see, e.g., Goodall (1987), Grootveld (1992), and G. de Vries (1992.…”

The multi-volume work Syntax of Dutch presents a synthesis of current thinking on Dutch syntax. The text of the seven already available volumes was written between 1995 and 2015 and issued in print between 2012 and 2016. The various volumes are primarily concerned with the description of the Dutch language and, only where this is relevant, with linguistic theory. They will be an indispensable resource for researchers and advanced students of languages and linguistics interested in the Dutch language. This volume is the final one of the series and addresses issues relating to coordination. It contains three chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the syntactic and semantic properties of coordinate structures and their constituting elements, that is, the coordinators and the coordinands they link. Chapter 2 discusses the types of ellipsis known as conjunction reduction and gapping found in coordinate structures. Chapter 3 discusses elements seemingly exhibiting coordination-like properties, such as dan ‘than’ in comparative constructions like Jan is groter dan zij ‘Jan is taller than she’.

“…Following Thiersch (1993Thiersch ( , 1994, Kayne (1994) and Johannessen (1998), among others, I will assume that a coordinate conjunction (Conj) projects a constituent structure containing a complement position and a specifier position. In this section I will develop an analysis, already hinted at at the end of section 2, according to which complex interjective expressions are coordinations of roots.…”

“…This "balanced" prosodic pattern causes a rhythmic effect. Following, among others, Thiersch (1993Thiersch ( , 1994, Kayne (1994) and Johannessen (1998), I will assume that a coordinate conjunction (Conj) like en projects a phrasal structure containing a complement position and a specifier position. Starting with this last prosodic property, consider The examples in (53) show that the last conjunct (KOEN) is always accented (indicated here by capitals), and the b-examples show that the last interjective atom (BOEM) is phonologically the most prominent.…”
