Kramsch, Claire J. – Modern Language Journal, 1983
German offers a good example of how syntax meets the discursive needs of speakers/hearers and writers/readers. A pedagogic grammar should put the emphasis on the ways the foreign language conceptualizes reality and on the syntactic realization of those concepts for construction of discourse. (Author/MSE)

Zoerner, Ed – Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, 1994
This paper proposes an explanation for the limited possibilities of realized conjunctions in multitermed coordinations.

This phenomenon is discussed in this paper. (CK)
