(1)TAXIS -(2) LOGICO-SEMANTIC RELATIONS
TAXIS refers to the depency status of the clauses in a clause complex HYPOTAXIS is used to refer to a relationship in which one clause is dependent on another [ main clause+ dependent clause(s)] SUBORDINATION PARATAXIS is used when one indipendent clause follows on from anothe [ indipendent clauses ] COORDINATION ! in parataxis you CAN OMMIT the SUBJECT

1)ELABORATION
Elaborating = equals Verbal processes project LOCUTIONS (reported or quoted) 2)EXTENSION Extending = is added to Mental processe project IDEAS (reported or quoted) 3)ENHANCEMENT Enhancing = is multiplied by EXPANSION 1)ELABORATION ELABORATING = „EQUALS“ In ELABORATION, one clause elaborates on the meaning of another by further specifying or describing it […]. The secondary clause does not introduce a new element into the picture but rather provides a further characterization of one that is already there, restating it clarifying it, refining it etc. to restate-ribadire, riaffermare further- ulteriore to refine- perfezionare, ridefinire PARATACTIC ELABORATION 1)exposition (in other words) i.e.
- exemplification ( for example)e.g.
- clarification (viz) Secondary clause may be introduced by i.e, e.g., viz i.e.- cioè, ovvero, vale a dire, pari a e.g.- come , ad esempio viz- cioè HYPOTACTIC ELABORATION Description NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSE either
- Finite, introduced by wh-element or
- Non Finite
EXPANSION
2)EXTENSION
In EXTENSION, one clause extends the meaning of another by adding something new it. What is addes may be just an addition, or else a replacement, or an alternative. PARATACTIC EXPANSION AND addition
- (both)…and
- Not only … but also
- (neither…) nor BUT variation
- But not; no…but
- Only, but, except
OR alternation
- (either…) or (else) HYPOTACTIC EXTENSION
- HYPOTACTIC FINITE ADDITION: while, whereas VARIATION : except that ALTERNATION: if … not (…then)
- HYPOTACTIC NON-FINITE ADDITION:
- besides, apart from, as well as
- Without VARIATION
- Instead of, rather than
- Except for, other than
EXPANSION
3)ENHANCEMENT
In ENHANCEMENT one clause enhances the meaning of another by qualifying it in one of a number of pssible ways: by refernce to time, place, manner, cause or condition. CIRCUMSTANTIAL INFORMATION involved, similar to the Circumstances of Transitivity, but this time expressed in/ by a different clause Hypotaxis and parataxis so parataxis as hypotaxis when hypotaxis PROJECTION IDEA, mental process LOCUTION, verbal process QUOTE: paratactic She thought: ‘ I can’ He willed her:‘Do‘ She said :‘I can‘ He told her :‘Do‘ She said :‘ Wow‘ REPORT: hypotactic She thought she could He wanted her to do She said she could He told her to do
