Subordination:
While most of the authors agree with the definition, others struggle to understand the necessity and/or function of the word itself.

These sentences are complex, as they provide a before and after to each piece of the sentence. The first sentence amplifies the second part following the comma as a follow-up to the vague statement using “while,” in order to grab the reader in to explain the vague statement further. The second sentence is complex, as it indicates a contrast between something prior and the statement to follow by using “However.”
Coordination:
Much of her piece, as the name suggests, is dedicated solely to the presence of Discourse in the educational system, and to what extent should it be taught.
This documentation proves to be essential, as it will serve as the basis for much of the discussion between the aforementioned texts, as each writer provides different viewpoints on the practical application of that definition
This definition is almost exactly defining intersectional cultures and adhesion to stereotypes thereof, and goes in great depth to explain the many aspects and applications of it, such as the presence of dominant Discourse, that which reigns over the others through some form of oppression.
These sentences are complex and coordinated, as they are directly using two or more different clauses/pieces of the sentence and connecting them via conjunctions.
