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

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
