By convention, a phrase containing the conjunction of two or more constituents has the same category as the first coordinate member.

Conjunction of possessive and PP The conjunction of a possessive and a PP, such as the one illustrated in (1), is treated as a case of conjunction of unlike categories and not as a case of ellipsis.

    (1) Adoro o teu cão e da Maria.

By default, the category enclosing the entire conjunction structure is that of the first conjunct, which in this case corresponds to an NP.

Conjunction of clitics and PPs The conjunction of a clitic and a PP, such as the one illustrated in (2), is treated as a case of conjunction of unlike categories and not as a case of ellipsis.

    (2) Adoro-te e à Maria.

By default, the category enclosing the entire conjunction structure is that of the first conjunct, which in this case corresponds to an NP. To deal with this structure and clitic doubling in a similar way, CONJP is labelled with the dash tag -PRN.

When two words that conjoin at the word level have different labels, a CONJP is added. In most cases of single-word conjunction, the difference between conjoining like and unlike categories is an artefact of our system of labelling rather than reflecting true conjunction of unlike categories.
