Abstract
Extrapropositional coordination encodes the temporal sequence of incoming propositions (e.g., 3.1.1). At the language level, extrapropositional coordination may occur intrasententially, as in Julia sleeps and John sings. (complex sentence), and extrasententially, as in Julia sleeps. John sings. (sequence of sentences in a text or dialogue). Intrasentential extrapropositional coordination requires a conjunction word like and, placed between the last two conjuncts. In extrasentential coordination, the sequencing of sentences is sufficient; if there is a coordinating conjunction, it is placed at the beginning of a sentential conjunct.
