Coordinating constituents in hierarchical discourse structures

Keywords: discourse analysis, connection, discourse coordination, discourse context, discourse subordination, initial 'y'

Abstract

The information needed in discourse to connect each constituent to the preceding one in a text is added from the discourse context in the text. A unit with initial y “and” is a coordinating constituent but it has subordinating properties, as shown in data from journalistic interviews, analyzed in terms of focus and change of discourse topic
