parataxis
: parataxis
Parataxis is a relation for “side-by-side sentences” including reported speech (1), parenthetical comments and clausal interjections (2), tag questions (3), and generally pairs of clauses that are pragmatically understood to be related in a discursive way despite lacking linking words between them (4). Clauses introduced after a colon (冒號 “:”) or long dash (破折號 “──”) also exemplify this kind of usage (5).
