CCONJ: coordinating conjunction
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.
In correlative (paired) coordinating conjuctions such as είτε - είτε or ή - ή “either - or”, both words are annotated `CCONJ’.
For subordinating conjunctions, see SCONJ.
Examples
- και “and”
- ή “or”
- αλλά “but”, όμως, ωστόσο “however, nevertheless, yet”
- μα “but” (only when it is used in the same way as “αλλά”, e.g. Είπε μα δεν τόλμησε “He said but didn’t dare”). In other cases see INTJ.
- είτε εσύ είτε ο Παύλος “either you or Pavlos”
- ούτε εσύ ούτε ο Παύλος “neither you nor Pavlos”
