Irish Coordination Morphemes #

@cite{haspelmath-2007}

Irish coordination morphemes. Irish is a J-only language for conjunction: "agus" is the sole conjunctive coordinator. There is no MU (additive particle) strategy for conjunction attested.

Connection to Typology.lean: Phenomena.Coordination.Typology.irish encodes the structural pattern (a_co_b only, J-only strategy).

                        All Irish coordination morphemes are free (no bound clitics).

                        Irish has exactly one conjunction morpheme (J-only, no MU).
