Summary
Pseudocoordination is attested for both Ancient Greek and Modern Greek, although the range of usage and functions have not been fully described for either. Pseudocoordination is also found in the Greek varieties of southern Italy (in contact with southern Italo-Romance), and also with an unusual configuration in varieties in contact with Turkish such as Pontic Greek where it is the second verb that takes on the auxiliary-like function. Moreover, the Greek coordinator και 'and' has a wide range of functions beyond basic coordination.
