There is a final problem that faces the paratactic account that we shall briefly discuss.    From Wordnik.com.  [Propositional Attitude Reports] Reference

First, the proponent of the paratactic account owes an account of when two utterances samesay one another.    From Wordnik.com.  [Propositional Attitude Reports] Reference

But there are other entailment relations that are also problematic for the paratactic account and are not avoided by Rumfitt's move.    From Wordnik.com.  [Propositional Attitude Reports] Reference

This counts heavily against the paratactic analysis, especially as that account is designed to respect intuitive validity judgments.    From Wordnik.com.  [Propositional Attitude Reports] Reference

If the syntax of the story has to this point been hypotactic to an almost absurd degree (even for German), the sentences suddenly become simpler, even paratactic.    From Wordnik.com.  [Reading, Begging, Paul de Man] Reference

I know and use “explicate”, I know “trope”, I have a vague sense of both “quotidian” and “discursive”, and “paratactic” is a complete mystery.    From Wordnik.com.  [Waldo Jaquith - 5 words my poetry professor used during today’s lecture.] Reference

Readers, I think, are bored senseless with poem after poem full of expository paratactic syntax; it patronizes them, and all but accuses them of being unable to follow an argument.    From Wordnik.com.  [Missing the Vernacular : A.E. Stallings : Harriet the Blog : The Poetry Foundation] Reference

In these terms, the hypotactic grammar of the first section of the story is eventually brought low by the tap tap of a paratactic specter that reduces everything to ruinous confusion.    From Wordnik.com.  [Reading, Begging, Paul de Man] Reference

The paratactic account, both solely as account of indirect speech reports and as an account of propositional attitude reports more generally, has been subject to a wide range of criticisms.    From Wordnik.com.  [Propositional Attitude Reports] Reference

(Indeed, it seems that any sense that the account is correct derives from our explicating the samesaying relation in terms of sameness of content, which of course the proponent of the paratactic account cannot have.).    From Wordnik.com.  [Propositional Attitude Reports] Reference

But the proponent of the paratactic account owes an analysis of the samesaying relation that doesn't presuppose the notion of the two tokens having a common content, on pains of the view collapsing into a propositionalist view.    From Wordnik.com.  [Propositional Attitude Reports] Reference

Loch, water, in which case the story would be called "The Beggarwoman of Water by Water" — the locative designation of "a city by a river" now replaced by the paratactic parallelism of the ghostly crutch: water, water/tap, tap.    From Wordnik.com.  [Reading, Begging, Paul de Man] Reference

As we see in the great crescendo at the center of "Tintern Abbey," immanence for Wordsworth consisted in being able to feel paratactic syntax expand to include within lyric celebration the furthest reaches of the poet's exalted speech.    From Wordnik.com.  [Strange Affinities: A Partial Return to Wordsworthian Poetics After Modernism] Reference

It generally uses words of Anglo-Saxon rather than Latin origin, and its sentences often have a paratactic structure — that is, they juxtapose a series of short elements, sometimes joining them with a simple conjunction (usually "and").    From Wordnik.com.  [Beginning With the Word] Reference

So, even if one can give an adequate account of when two utterances samesay one another without presupposing a common meaning or proposition they are both related to, one's work in defending the paratactic account as an account of belief sentences (and other propositional attitude reporting sentences) is not complete.    From Wordnik.com.  [Propositional Attitude Reports] Reference

Worse, their concern for readers accustomed to short Dick-and-Jane sentences and political cliché has often led them to chop up Herodotus 'long, marvelously organized paratactic clauses, scramble his sentences, omit his oral-style repetitions altogether, pepper his text with unmarked explanatory glosses, and turn his concrete phraseology into a series of bland bureaucratic abstractions.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Great Marathon Man] Reference

Relative clauses, uninfluenced by the position of the sign-post, remain subject to precisely the same conditions as the corresponding paratactic sentences.    From Wordnik.com.  [Inversion.] Reference

Now in each of these sentences there are the same inducements to inversion in the syntactic form as in the paratactic; and added to these is the necessity for placing the sign-post at the beginning.    From Wordnik.com.  [Inversion.] Reference

They differ from the instances considered above in this important respect, that their relation to the preceding words is no longer paratactic, but syntactic, with the result that the sign-post indicating this relation is necessarily placed at the beginning.    From Wordnik.com.  [Inversion.] Reference

He has managed to find a cinematic equivalent of the paratactic style appropriate to epic, where one declarative statement follows another, and one event follows another, without any significant degree of authorial or grammatical intervention to explain or rationalize the relationship between them.    From Wordnik.com.  [The American Spectator] Reference
