This paper demonstrates an analysis of the extraction in coordination in the spirit of the Minimalist Program. It is claimed that coordination is an adjunction structure and the extraction facts in coordination are accounted for by independently motivated principles which apply to an adjunct island. The generalization in my analysis is that extraction of an element out of an adjunct is licensed if the gap is interpreted via a coreferential gap in another derivational path. This gap-licensing is an LF-induced island repair. My generalization is extended to the parasitic gaps and subsumed under Nunes' (1995) sideward movement framework. My analysis implies that there is an LF-induced island repair in the grammar
