A '''coordinator''' is a [[particle]] or [[affix]] that serves to link the [[coordinand]]s in [[coordination]].

===Examples===
In English, the most important coordinators are ''and'', ''or'', and ''but''.

===Subtypes===
*[[conjunctive coordinator]] (e.g. ''and'')
*[[disjunctive coordinator]] (e.g. ''or'')
*[[adversative coordinator]] (e.g. ''but'')

===Synonym===
*[[coordinating conjunction]] (this term was the most comomn term in the second half of the 19th century, and was still widely used in the 20th).

===Origin===
The term became current only in the 20th century. Probably Bloomfield's (1933:195) use of the term was very influential in spreading it.

:::*"The phrase boys and girls belongs to the same form-class as the constituents, boys, girls; these constituents are the ''members'' of the co-ordination, and the other constituent is the ''co-ordinator''." (Bloomfield 1933:195)
