The conclusion (276) is that neither syntax nor discourse is exclusively responsible for explaining the observable extraction patterns; rather, both are needed to fully understand how coordination interacts with the grammar of extraction. In the process, the authors show how discourse continuations contribute to discourse topics and their constraints on common themes. I recommend it to anyone interested in coordination, discourse structure, or how syntax and discourse interact to give rise to rich and complex phenomena. [Extracted from the article] |
