Relativized Parallelism in Mandarin Chinese Natural Coordination

摘要: Conjuncts of natural coordination are semantically related, in contrast to those accidental coordination. It is generally assumed that no single conjunct may be moved and element extracted from a conjunct. Focusing on Chinese he/gen constructions, this paper first argues not only post-verbal, but also preverbal he gen comitative constructions coordinators, thus form coordination, then presents the following correlation: one hand, conjuncts move elements coordination; other nor This correlation reveals relativized parallelism coordinate constructions: syntactic operations applied possible when complex related each other. The tries account for an economy perspective language processing.
