When there is no coordinating conjunction and there is a close relationship between the meanings of two independent clauses, use a semicolon.
A comma and a coordinating conjunction are frequently used to separate two independent clauses with similar meanings (and, but, or, not, for, so, yet). Although they can both be used in the same phrase, semicolons and colons have separate functions. Examples: I've lived in a lot of big cities, including Miami, Texas, Dallas, and Baltimore, Maryland. Before a conjunction like "and" or "but," semicolons can be used to connect two simple phrases that either already contain commas, or both do. This technique elevates the semi-colon over commas. You can join sentences using a colon.
