This study analyzes the syndetic coordination of compound sentences found in CoinDesk articles. It aims to identify the types of coordinating conjunctions used and explain how they connect independent clauses to form clear and cohesive sentence structures in financial news writing. This study applies a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing documentation techniques to collect data. Data sources consist of selected articles published on the official CoinDesk website during May and June 2025. Data were analyzed by identifying sentences containing syndetic coordination, classifying them by conjunction type, and describing their syntactic structures using tree diagram analysis. The syntactic framework of Quirk (1985) and Kroeger (2005) was used to analyze the function and structure of the compound sentences. The findings reveal that the coordinating conjunction and appears most frequently, indicating its dominant role in linking related ideas, followed by but, or, and so. The analysis demonstrates that syndetic coordination enhances clarity and cohesion in complex informational texts by organizing multiple propositions into integrated statements. This study advances understanding of compound sentence structures in professional discourse and emphasizes the importance of syntactic awareness in journalism, where linguistic precision directly influences readability and credibility. By illustrating the practical impact of coordination in media texts, the findings contribute to both syntactic theory and the development of effective strategies for news writing.
