This paper proposes an analysis of coordination of unlike categories, where some of the conjuncts are controlled and others are not. It shows that the most straightforward analysis, using defining off-path constraints, is a solution for theoretical LFG, but currently does not work in grammars implemented in XLE. For this reason, an alternative working analysis introducing a new attribute on all conjuncts, CONTROLLER, is offered.
