Parataxis ('placing side by side') can refer to

• a writing style that avoids conjunctions

cf. syntaxis (favors complex syntax),

cf. hypotaxis (the explicit subordination of some word, phrase or clause to another, (only or particularly?(verify)) with a conjunction)

• In linguistic analysis, parataxis often points to words that form a relationship by being adjacent, rather than explicit coordination/conjunction (verify)

e.g.

Hypotaxis
