This paper provides a novel analysis for the distributive reading of coordinate structures under Right Node Raising (CoRNR). The authors show that the properties of this construction exclude a number of previous analyses based on movement, binding, or ellipsis. They propose to extend Citko's 2003 constituent sharing analysis of ATB questions, by claiming that CoRNR constructions feature a coordinate structure embedded inside a larger one. Such structures create a linearization problem that is resolved at PF by extraposing the lower coordinate structure. On top of accounting for the seemingly paradoxical properties of CoRNR sentences, this analysis can also be extended to regular RNR sentences and to coordinated wh-questions.
