Résumé
Robert D, Borsley: Coordination and X-bar Syntax. It is widely accepted within Principles and Parameters theory that coordinate structures are Conjunction Phrases, in which the first term is the specifier, the conjunction the head, and the second term the complement. They differ from typical specifier-head-complement structures in various ways. so at most they could be exceptional instances of such structures. A consideration of the distribution of coordinate structures, the number of conjuncts (or terms), the nature of conjuncts (or terms), and the basic structure of coordinate structures suggests that there are no significant similarilies between coordinate structures and specifier-head-complement structures and a consideration of certain unbalanced coordinate structures points to the same conclusion. It seems, then, that the Conjunction Phrase analysis is untenable.
