Abstract
This article explores the use of conjunctions and abverbials in the East Anglican oral tale, Tom Tit Tot. Specifically, the use and meanings of well, and, and so are explored, and the absence of the conjunction because is considered. Then the differences in coordination between oral and printed tales (specifically several Grimm tales) is commented upon. The author concludes that coordination in tales often marks causality in implicit and ambiguous ways rather than in explicit and precise ways, thus opening up the tales, allowing them room for various interpretations and modes of development.
