I'm writing a poem. I remembered the term parataxis. I did not bring its definition. After stumbling and tumbling through google, I stuck my mouse into this video, and found the entire channel quite fantastic. Although 'parataxis' has a somewhat different meaning within poetry, I'm delighted to have found your channel!
Hey, thanks! Words like these tend to have kind of wobbly definitions, so I usually favor the broader ones. Either way, I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the channel--good luck with the poem!
Marvellous! I always knew, on some amorphous and instinctive level, that these two aspects of writing existed (and it always nagged at me) but it wasn't until I saw this video that the distinction became clear. Now I will never read anything the same way again. I swear that most of life's problems could be understood if only we could find the Latin or Greek name for them.
Greek descriptions (even ancient ones) always just seem, so ..accurate and really specific. I don’t feel we have a decent parallel for this in American English other than sloppy loan-words which is definitely not the same thing 🙄
Cheer~~~the subordination of one clause to another and the placing of clauses or phrases one after another, without words to indicate coordination or subordination😊
It would be impossible not to use both, of course, but, since novels are about as writerly as it gets (and audiobook listeners would expect it), I think some hypotaxis would probably be just fine
I like the lab coat. Gives you an aura of technician. That’s what this is. Good work

Love that! I suppose we could also just invent English names for things, but those attempts never seem to catch on... Latin and Greek it is!
