The phrasal categories appear to form a hierarchy: S —VP—AP—PP—NP. It is claimed that a language will not use one co-ordination strategy for S and NP alone unless the intervening categories also permit the same strategy.
Standardized
IF one co-ordination strategy is used for NPs, THEN it is also used for PPs. IF one co-ordination strategy is used for PPs, THEN it is also used for APs. IF one co-ordination strategy is used for APs, THEN it is also used for VPs. IF one co-ordination strategy is used for VPs, THEN it is also used for Ss.
All languages, seemingly without exception, possess strategies which permit various types of co-ordination to occur at the phrasal as well as sentential level, thereby forming complex phrases of various grammatical categories.Payne distinguishes five basic co-ordination types which are realized linguistically both at phrasal and sentential levels: these are CONJUNCTION (p and q), POSTSECTION (p and not q), PRESECTION (not p and q), DISJUNCTION (p or q), and REJECTION (not p and not q; not…p or q).
