§3 The range of coordination: what can be coordinated with what

3.2 Coordination of unlike categories
In the great majority of cases, coordinates belong to the same syntactic category, but ★a difference of category is generally tolerated where there is likeness of function.★ This section surveys the main functions allowing coordinations of this kind.

多くの場合、等位接続詞によって並列される要素は同じ統語カテゴリーに属するが、★機能の類似性がある場合には、カテゴリーの違いは一般的に許容される。★

(a) Predicative complement
[13]
i It was [<extremely expensive> and <in bad taste>]. [AdjP + PP]
ii He became [<very forgetful> and <an embarrassment to his family>]. [AdjP + NP]

It is also possible to coordinate an AdjP, NP, or PP with a no-finite clause.
[14]
i He's [<in love> and <behaving quite irrationally>]. [PP + gerund-participal]
ii He is [<known to have a gun> and <likely to use it>]. [past-participal + AdjP]
iii This process [is <perfectly natural> and <to be welcomed>]. [AdjP + infinitival]
