== Parataxis versus hypotaxis == Parataxis roughly translates to "arranging side by side", while hypotaxis translates to "arranging under". Parataxis omits subordinating conjunctions while hypotaxis utilizes terms such as "when", "although", and "after". Parataxis juxtaposes ideas and thoughts, while hypotaxis subordinates ideas to one another and shows both juxtaposition, transition and connection. Thus, hypotaxis can show relationships of cause and effect, chronology, and comparison.<ref name=":2" /> Recent studies show that the [[Zamucoan languages]] are characterized by a rare syntactic configuration which is called para-[[hypotaxis]], where coordination and subordination are used simultaneously to connect clauses (Bertinetto & Ciucci 2012).<ref>Bertinetto, Pier Marco (2009). Ayoreo (Zamuco). A grammatical sketch. ''Quaderni del laboratorio di Linguistica'' 8 n.s. (Online version: <http://linguistica.sns.it/QLL/QLL09.htm>).</ref>
