Summary
Pairs of certain semantic types show no more than a weak tendency to occur in asyndeton bimembre: overt coordination is more frequent. There may be a unity of some sort to the terms, which makes them susceptible to occasional asyndetic coordination, but that unity is no more than a background to the asyndeton. It is necessary to look at contexts and structures to see if it is possible to identify factors motivating the absence of a coordinator.
