Appendix 4 Conjunctions

There are two types of conjunctions: coordinate conjunctions which serve to
connect independent sentences and subordinate conjunctions which serve to
connect two sentences into a single complex sentence. The coordinate con-
junctions of S1. Conj. S2 structure as instanced by Exs.(la, b) below are partic-
ularly important, because the proper use of such conjunctions is essential for
forming a paragraph, a discourse unit consisting of meaningfully arranged
independent sentences.

(I want to study Japanese in Japan. But the travel cost is so expen-
sive that I cannot go there.)
In view of the importance of the coordinate conjunctions in discourse, this
segment addresses specifically the classification, meaning / function and uses
of the coordinate conjunctions that combine independent sentences. For the
subordinate conjunctions, see the following items in DBJG and in this volume:
