Syntaxis

For other uses, see Syntaxis (disambiguation).

Syntaxis (contrasted to parataxis) is style in writing or in rhetoric that favors complex syntax, as against simple sentence structures. For example, 19th-century German academic prose, and John Milton's "Paradise Lost" poetry in English are notably syntactic.
