Abstract
These constructions are distinguished from garden-variety coordination by several properties which have been well described in the literature (Wiklund (1996), Jaeggli & Hyams (1993), Carden & Pesetsky (1977), Ross (1967) inter alia). These include the fact that the first conjunct is restricted to limited number of verbs, notably come and go.1 Pseudo coordination also allows systematic violations of the coordinate structure constraint (henceforth CSC) (see (1) and (2)) and yields aspectual interpretations (notably durativity), as well as ‘surprise’ (Carden & Pesetsky 1977) and pejorative readings. Finally, both verbs must have the same morphological form. These are the focus of the following section.
