Apokoinu construction

In linguistics, an apokoinu construction ( /æpəˈkɔɪn/) is a blend of two clauses through a lexical word which has two syntactical functions, one in each of the blended clauses. The clauses are connected asyndentically.

Usually the word common for both sentences is a predicative or an object in the first sentence and subject in the second one. As such constructions are not part of standard modern English, they serve a stylistic function of characterizing a character through his speech as uneducated.

Examples

"There was no breeze came through the door." (E. Hemingway).
"There was a door led into the kitchen." (E. Hemingway).
"This is the sword killed him" (Routledge Dictionary of Language and Linguistics).
