A coordinating conjunction is a word that links words or larger constituents without syntactically subordinating one to the other and expresses a semantic relationship between them.

For subordinating conjunctions see SCONJ.

Parents of CONJ nodes belong to 15 different parts of speech: NOUN (3579; 45% instances), VERB (2503; 31% instances), ADJ (913; 11% instances), PROPN (585; 7% instances), PRON (150; 2% instances), NUM (139; 2% instances), ADV (74; 1% instances), DET (9; 0% instances), CONJ (8; 0% instances), SCONJ (7; 0% instances), X (6; 0% instances), ADP (5; 0% instances), AUX (5; 0% instances), INTJ (2; 0% instances), SYM (2; 0% instances)

7906 (99%) CONJ nodes are leaves.

53 (1%) CONJ nodes have one child.

25 (0%) CONJ nodes have two children.

3 (0%) CONJ nodes have three or more children.

The highest child degree of a CONJ node is 5.
