Description: This paper presents an LFG-based analysis of coordination in terms of (non-headed) sets of f-structures and the distribution of grammatical functional information across sets. The analysis provides the basis for an explanation of a range of properties of coordination constructions, including referential identity, patterns of anaphora and control. Further, the condition that unlike categories can be conjoined if and only if they are eligible to serve the same grammatical function in the containing clause does not have to be stipulated but follows as an axiom from the general principles of functional application to sets.
