#The compound sentence. Logical types of coordination.

A compound sentence consists of 2 or more clauses of equal rank which form one syntactic whole in meaning and intonation. Such clauses are called coordinate. They are regarded as independent. Coordination can be asyndetic (no connector) or syndetic (coordinating conjunctions or conjunctive adverb). There are 4 logical types of coordination: copulative, disjunctive, adversative, causative-consecutive.
a) Copulative: the clauses are simply linked together to express two or more related facts by means of the following coordinators: and, neither – nor, als, even, not only – but, besides, either, too, etc.
b) Disjunctive: express an alternative: or, or else, either – or, otherwise.
c) Adversative: the statements expressed by the clauses are contrasted in meaning: but, however, nevertheless, while, yet.
d) causative-consecutive: express the idea of cause and consequence: for, consequently, thus, therefore, then.
