CPs can be coordinated with DPs in positions where only DPs are selected. Recent analyses attribute this either to an effect of linear order or processing. I show experimental data from German that are incompatible with either explanation: speakers prefer the order of conjuncts that is predicted to be bad in both analyses. The results are compatible with bottom-up derivations and asymmetric coordination structures.
