    abstract = "There is no single accepted model of the dependency structure of coordination. Universal Dependencies (UD, De Marneffe et al. 2021) enforces in its corpora an asymmetrical model privileging the coordination`s first conjunct as a standard. Kanayama et al. (2018) criticize that approach stating that this model is incompatible with the grammatical structure of head-final languages. Recent research (Przepi{\'o}rkowski and Wo{\'z}niak 2023, Przepi{\'o}rkowski et al. 2024a) provides a DLM-based argument for the symmetrical models of the dependency structure of English coordination. This paper shows the result of the analysis of coordinations found in UD corpora of two head-final languages, namely Korean and Turkish. Based on the analysis of coordinations and theoretical arguments, an alternative approach to the dependency structure of coordination in head-final languages is suggested."
