CONJ: coordinating conjunction
Definition
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.
Some coordinating conjunctions appear in pairs or groups of more than one: [fi] sekä … että “both … and”.
Co-ordination and enclitic particles
Many Uralic languages have enclitic particles that are used in co-ordination in addition to or instead of specific words. It is not clear what is the best way to analyse this in Uralic Dependencies.
Examples
- [fi] ja “and”, tai “or”, vai “or”, sekä “and”, mutta “but”
- [fi] eikä “and not”, enkä “and I do not”
