Coordinators : A word linking two words or other structures together of equal status
Coordinators are easy to remember if you think of the words “ FAN BOYS” :
• For • Nor • Or • So

Clausal COordination
Semantic implication of coordination by “And”
• The event in the second clause is a consequence or result of the event in the first
• The event in the second clause is chronological sequence to the event in the first
Eg: The tree was cut down and (then) made into paper
slidesmania.com
• The second clause introduces a contrast. And could be replaced by but when this implication is present
Eg: John is very rich and (whereas) his friends are extremely poor.
Clausal COordination
Semantic implication of coordination by “And”
• The second clause is a comment on the first
• The second clause introduces an element of surprise in view of the content of the first
Eg: Mom loves her so much and (but) she doesn't care about it
slidesmania.com
Eg: Let me see your test scores and you can eat this meal
Clausal COordination
Semantic implication of coordination by “And”
• The second clause makes a point similar to the first
• Sometimes “or” is understood as INCLUSIVE, allowing the realization of a combination of the alternatives, and we can
explicitly include the third possibility by a third clause
Eg: You can paint it blue or yellow, or we can mix them together
slidesmania.com
Clausal COordination
Semantic implication of coordination by “Or”
• The alternative expressed by “or” may be restatement or a correction of what is said in the first conjoin
Eg: They are enjoying themselves, or at least they appear to be enjoying themselves.
• The contrast may be a restatement in affirmative terms of what has been said or implied negatively in the first conjoin
Eg: She didn't eat anything all day, but continued her hunger strike

drawn from it (in the main clause). They are most commonly introduced by the conjunctions: because, since, or as
Ex: Seeing that you won’t help me, I must do the job myself.
- Non-finite clauses and verbless clauses are often used, but without subordinator.

Clauses of purpose
- Clauses of purpose are adjuncts, usually infinitival, introduced by: in order (for N) to, so as to.
- Finite clauses of purpose may be introduced by: so that or (more formally) by in order that or (so) that.
Ex: Thao Phuong dresses like that so that everyone will notice her.
Clauses of result
- Result clauses (disjuncts, placed finally in superordinate clauses) are factual rather than ‘putative’, so they may contain an ordinary
verb form without a modal auxiliary. They are introduced by so that (informally so)
Ex:
+ The shops were closed, so I can’t buy milk tea for Thao Phuong.
