Sažetak

The conjunction and is treated :in early and modern grammatical
writings from the poimt of view of its categorization, its function, and
evaluation in terms of style. Syntactico-grammatical and logico-semantic criteria are employed by early as well as modern authors. And is defined as a function word marking structural relations called coordination, and semantic relations called addition. Rules governing coordination are discussed, as well as the semantic implications of the
structure in question. On levels above sentence and functions as a
text-forming device producting cohesion of the discourse. The paper
suggests that the only undisputed function of and is that of connector.
The idea of some early grammariams of coordination reduction has been usefully developed in transformational syntax. Further studies in frequency, variety of stylistic applications and change of stylistic range should provide more interesting views of constructions with "and".
