Assuming that a coordinating conjunction is a conjunction which links two
phrases of the same phrase type (e.g. NPs) and create a larger phrase of the
same type, it seems to me 並立助詞 should be coordinating conjunctions. Taking for
example this sentence:

> 天気とかパーティーでの食事とか好きな飲み物などについて話しなさい

It seems pretty clear that here the conjuncts 天気, パーティーでの食事, 好きな飲み物(など) are
forming a very large NP/DP (or what the equivalent in Japanese is). The
limitation of course being that we don't use 並立助詞 to link full clauses if
we're not then going to talk about them in some way, as we might use "and" in
English: "I ate and I slept."  
Is this wrong somehow or can I go on with a mental model in which 並立助詞 work
like coordinating conjunctions?
