Summary

Two distinct types of pseudocoordination are found in Italo-Romance varieties, distinguished following Giusti & Cardinaletti (2022): (1) e-pseudocoordination, the TAKE AND construction found throughout Italian and Italo-Romance varieties (and other Romance languages), with the coordinator e ('and', from Latin et 'and') between the verbs, also used rarely with motion or other verbs; and (2) a-pseudocoordination, a distinctive feature of southern Italo-Romance, typically used with motion verbs, and usually formed with the linking element a which is homophonous with the infinitival marker a ('to') but considered by some scholars to have developed in this function from Latin ac 'and' rather than Latin ad 'to'. This a-pseudocoordination type has been relatively well researched for Sicilian and other southern Italian varieties, while the e-pseudocoordination type although more widespread has not been studied as extensively. For discussion, see Ross (2021: Section 2.2.2.2).
