One widely accepted view posits that the grammaticality of a coordinate structure depends on its conjuncts having the same grammatical properties, such as case and syntactic category. Although this assumption has been repeatedly challenged, the debate still centers on limited data mainly from Polish and English. In this study, we further challenge the assumption that conjuncts must be alike with various corpus examples and judgments of native speakers. We analyze our findings within the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar, following the approach proposed by Przepiórkowski & Patejuk (2021), and validate the analysis with an XLE implementation. Our results add to the growing body of research questioning the assumption that conjuncts must be alike.
