Résumé anglais Our study considers various correlative structures based on the relative and demonstrative stems *kwo- and *to-, which can express both coordinating and subordinating functions. In the domain of quantitative identity, correlative symmetric structures such as quam… tam, quantus… tantus correspond to the asymmetric (i.e. subordinating) correlative series quo magis… eo magis, which expresses a conditional implication. In the domain of temporal identity, the correlative series cum… tum is initially symmetric and coordinating, aimed to express a relation of coextensive simultaneity. The temporal correlation can also develop a value of conditional, subordinating implication in non-factual, iterative contexts of contingent simultaneity. Moreover, we analyze another structure (idem ac, atque ; idem qui, etc.), which presents a type of qualitative relation inside one clause to express identity or resemblance.
