Hypotaxis: using subordination to show the relationship between clauses or phrases (and hence the opposite of parataxis):

  • They asked the question because they were curious.
  • If a person observing an unusual or unfamiliar object concludes that it is probably a spaceship from another world, he can readily adduce that the object is reacting to his presence or actions when in reality there is absolutely no cause-effect relationship. --Philip Klass
  • While I am in the world, I am the light of the world. --John 9:5
