Abstract
This article discusses the coordination of subject and object noun phrases within sentences. Two types of coordination can be distinguished: coordination in situ and coordination with right-extraposition. It is argued that coordination is always constructed in situ when it is (1) not overtly marked, or (2) within a specific left-field of the sentence from where extraction to the right is impossible. In all the other cases, both constructions appear, with a prevalence towards right-extraposition in the older language. When coordination is marked, the marker stands either at the left periphery of the second coordinated element (the preferred option for coordination in situ), or it is inserted into a clitic position within the second coordinated element.
