'''Syndeton''' (from the Greek {{lang|el|συνδετόν}} {{gloss|bound together with}})<ref>{{Cite web |last=Liddell |first=Henry George |last2=Scott |first2=Robert |last3=Jones |first3=Henry Stuart |date=16 March 2026 |title=Liddel, Scott, Jones Ancient Greek Lexicon |url=https://lsj.gr/wiki/%CF%83%CF%8D%CE%BD%CE%B4%CE%B5%CF%84%CE%BF%CF%82 |url-status=live |access-date=12 May 2026 |website=LSJ - Ancient Greek & Latin Dictionaries}}</ref> or '''syndetic coordination''' in grammar is a form of syntactic coordination of the elements of a sentence (conjuncts) with the help of a coordinating conjunction. For instance, in a simple syndeton, two conjuncts are joined by a conjunction: "I will have eggs '''and''' ham".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://grammar.about.com/od/rs/g/Syndeton.htm |title=syndeton - definition and examples of syndeton and syndetic |website=About.com Grammar & Composition |date=2013-11-13 |accessdate=2013-12-14 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131214191339/http://grammar.about.com/od/rs/g/Syndeton.htm |archive-date=2013-12-14}}</ref>

In syndetic coordination with more than two conjuncts, the conjunction is placed between the two last conjuncts: "I will need bread, cheese and ham". The serial comma is not usually used in front of the conjunction between the last two items in British English, while American English generally suggests a comma:{{cn|date=May 2025}} "I will need bread, cheese, and ham".
