In reply to:paratactic
adj.
1 of, relating to, or involving parataxis: also par#a[tac4ti[cal
2 designating or using a style in which sentences or elements within sentences are set down successively with little or no indication of their relationship
par#a[tac4ti[cal[ly
adj.Now why is it parataxis looks so familiar to me this morning as I awaken?
Have we discussed it before. I could liu, but I'm just wu.
The idea of stringing out a group of unrelated sentences seems like the prewriting stage of the writing process--freewriting--jot down anything that pops into your head; don't worry about the relationship between sentences; free up the imagination.
What other uses might there be for parataxis? Or is it some kind of mental disorder?
