Parataxis
Definition of Parataxis
Parataxis is a literary device in Which there is a juxtaposition of short, simple, independent clauses without subordinating conjunctions. Parataxis examples sometimes include no conjunctions at all, though there can be coordinating conjunctions such as “but,” “and,” “for,” “yet,” “so,” “or,” and so on. Parataxis examples never include linking words such as “while,” “that,” “until,” and so on (i.e., subordinating conjunctions). The difference between coordinating and subordinating conjunctions is a matter of dependence; coordinating conjunctions can join two or more independent ideas, whereas subordinating conjunctions show that one part is reliant on another for meaning.
There is a second definition of parataxis which applies to literature. Parataxis can also mean a poetic technique of placing two starkly dissimilar images or fragments side by side in a poem. The contrast forces readers to make connections between these dissimilar things. Some poetic forms, such as the haiku, make use of this technique so as to provide a turn and surprise for the reader.
The word parataxis comes from the Greek for “the act of placing side by side” from the words para-, “beside” and tassein, “to arrange.”
Difference Between Parataxis and Asyndeton
Parataxis and asyndeton are very similar literary techniques. Asyndeton is the omission of all conjunctions between successive clauses. In fact, asyndeton, can be considered a subset of parataxis in that all examples of asyndeton are also examples of parataxis. The reverse statement, however, is not true because some parataxis examples do use coordinating conjunctions.
Common Examples of Parataxis
Parataxis can be found in some advertising slogans, as brands and companies usually favor brevity and easy to remember tag lines. Here are some examples:
§  “Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.”—M&Ms
§  “Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline.”—Maybelline
§  “Nothing outlasts the Energizer. It keeps going and going and going.”—Energizer batteries
§  “Pork. The Other White Meat.”—National Pork Board
§  “Thousands of possibilities. Get yours.”—Best Buy
One good example of parataxis outside the literary realm is the contemporary art form of music videos. Many times there are images which are placed one after the other that require the viewer to make connections that are not necessarily obvious.
Significance of Parataxis in Literature
Though clauses and sentences in an example of parataxis are independent, the function of parataxis is to allow the reader or listener to imagine the train of thought that leads from one idea to the next. Parataxis examples do not show these connections in full, but instead rely on the intelligence of the reader to fill in the gaps, so to speak. Thus, parataxis is quite different from a non sequitur, where there is not any connection from one idea to the next.
Examples of Parataxis in Literature
Example #1
‘Come along, then,’ said he of the green coat, lugging Mr. Pickwick after him by main force, and talking the whole way. Here, No. 924, take your fare, and take yourself off—respectable gentleman—know him well—none of your nonsense—this way, sir—where’s your friends?—all a mistake, I see—never mind—accidents will happen—best regulated families—never say die—down upon your luck—Pull him UP—Put that in his pipe—like the flavour—damned rascals.’ And with a lengthened string of similar broken sentences, delivered with extraordinary volubility, the stranger led the way to the traveller’s waiting-room, whither he was closely followed by Mr. Pickwick and his disciples.
(The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens)
The above excerpt from Charles Dickens’s work The Pickwick Papers is a famous example of parataxis which calls attention to its own technique. The stranger speaks in “a lengthened string of similar broken sentences,” as Dickens says. As the reader, we can see the connection and train of thought from one idea to the next, and yet there are not conjunctions in place to connect the ideas.
Example #2
‘What should we drink?’ the girl asked. She had taken off her hat and put it on the table.
‘It’s pretty hot,’ the man said.
‘Let’s drink beer.’
‘Dos cervezas,’ the man said into the curtain.
‘Big ones?’ a woman asked from the doorway.
‘Yes. Two big ones.’
(“Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway)
Ernest Hemingway is known for his concise style and his tendency to eschew subordinating conjunctions. He describes as little as he can get away with, and the dialogue between his characters is often filled with subtext and nuance. In the above excerpt from his short story “Hills Like White Elephants,” Hemingway uses only one conjunction altogether (“and” in the first line), and mostly writes in short, declarative sentences.
Example #3
124 was spiteful. Full of a baby’s venom. The women in the house knew it and so did the children. For years each put up with the spite in his own way, but by 1873 Sethe and her daughters Denver were its only victims.
(Beloved by Toni Morrison)
The contemporary writer Toni Morrison often writes in a paratactic style (i.e., one that exemplifies parataxis), choosing short sentences and combining successive clauses only with coordinating conjunctions, or with punctuation and no conjunction at all. The above few lines are famous for opening Morrison’s masterpiece Beloved. The surprising short sentences “124 was spiteful. Full of a baby’s venom.” make the reader wonder what, exactly, 124 is, and how it could be spiteful. Morrison’s concise style builds intrigue in the reader.
Example #4
I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun.
(Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler)
The short excerpt above from Raymond Chandler’s novel Farewell, My Lovely is an excellent parataxis example. The first sentence connects independent clauses only with sentences, while the second contains exactly one coordinating conjunction. The first sentence also is an example of anaphora, which is a form of repetition in which successive clauses begin with the same word or words. Chandler does a good job of intimating the connections between his character’s different “needs” and then contrasting them with what the character does actually have.
Example #5
In the summer quiet. Just be. Joshua liked the Beatles, used to listen to them in his room, you could hear the noise even through the big headphones he loved. Let it be. Silly song, really. You let it be, it returns. There’s the truth. You let it be, it drags you to the ground. You let it be, it crawls up your walls.
(Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann)
Contemporary author Colum McCann is noted for his style of writing without many conjunctions, and often even without full sentences. The above paragraph from McCann’s award-winning Let the Great World Spin riffs on the famous Beatles imperative “Let it be.” McCann’s incomplete sentences do away with unnecessary words and leave the reader to imagine and create connections where McCann has enigmatically left them out.

From whatis.com
Augmented Intelligence

Augmented intelligence is an alternative conceptualization of artificial intelligence that focuses on AI's assistive role, emphasizing the fact that it is designed to enhance human intelligence rather than replace it.
Some industry experts believe that the term artificial intelligence is too closely linked to popular culture, causing the general public to have unrealistic fears about artificial intelligence and improbable expectations about how it will change the workplace and life in general. Researchers and marketers hope the term augmented intelligence, which has a more neutral connotation, will help people understand that AI will simply improve products and services, not replace the humans that use them.
An alternative label for artificial intelligence also reflects the current state of technology and research more accurately. While a sophisticated AI program is certainly capable of making a decision after analyzing patterns in large data sets, that decision is only as good as the data that human beings gave the programming to use. IBM, which has invested heavily in artificial intelligence, has embraced the label augmented intelligence and has also suggested the term intelligence augmentation (IA), not only to emphasize the supportive role of the technology but also to avoid confusion caused by using AI as an abbreviation. Other alternative suggestions for replacing the label include machine-augmented intelligence and cognitive augmentation.

What your body language is saying about you during an interview
October 17, 2018
Poor body language can send messages that you’re incapable, nervous, or unhappy–all adjectives you don’t want an interviewer associating with you.

Sometimes it’s the little things that sabotage your chance at a new career. Here’s how to prevent body language from losing you a job offer.
Everyone has physical habits they rarely notice. In an interview setting, these nervous ticks offer a physical outlet for the stress you’re under. But they come at a price. Rather than focusing on what you’re saying or the experience you’d bring, the hiring manager’s attention turns to your nail-biting or hair-twirling. The scariest part? You may not even realize you’re doing it.
Poor body language can send messages that you’re incapable, nervous, or unhappy–all adjectives you don’t want an interviewer associating with you. An interviewer may forgive you for a subpar answer on the 5th question you’re asked, but if your body language offers physical evidence you don’t work well under pressure or you’re not confident in your abilities? It’s going to be hard to come back.
Don’t undermine how qualified you are with poor habits. Practice avoiding these common moves before they cost you your next job.
Slouching
Remember when your mom would tell you to stand up straight? She was on to something.
Slouching makes you look as though you’re bored and disengaged, and leaning forward too much can make the interviewer feel crowded. Standing up straight instills a sense of confidence and ownership of the situation. To the interviewer, it makes you look taller, but also more capable and self-assured.
Slumping
Think about the last social gathering you attended where you didn’t know anyone. Did you cross your arms? Put your hands in your pockets?
Crossing your arms or hunching over (which most of us have a habit of doing without realizing) can make you seem insecure. Although it can feel comforting to fold your arms in front of your chest, the movement sends a signal that you’re uninterested or unapproachable in the conversation. Some even view it as aggressive.
You want to appear open, approachable, and friendly during an interview. To avoid the hunch, remember to keep your arms relaxed by your side or hold your resume folio in your hands to prevent yourself from resorting to old habits. Having good posture throughout the interview will make you look–and actually feel–more confident.
Whether it’s tucking your hair behind your ear, touching your face, or tapping your foot, nervous gestures creep up out of nowhere.
Smirking
You’ll want to avoid rolling your eyes or giving any signs you’re nervous or frustrated. But that doesn’t mean you need to remain absolutely serious during an interview—you should definitely try to showcase your personality.
An easy way to help break the ice is to smile. When you do, you’re telling your potential future employer in that 1) you’re normal and 2) it would actually be fun to work with you on a daily basis. Most importantly, a smile will help you relax so you can present the best version of yourself.
Fiddling
Whether it’s tucking your hair behind your ear, touching your face, or tapping your foot, nervous gestures creep up out of nowhere. They can make you look distracted or, worse, showcase insecurity. Be self-aware. Take control by placing your hands on the table or on the armrest.
Not sure how to act? One way to instill a sense of trust during an interview is to subtly mimic the movement of your interviewer. Without acting like a copycat, try to mirror your interviewer’s body language. If your interviewer is leaning forward during the conversation, lean slightly forward as well to show you’re interested in what she has to say. This subtle technique shows you’re on the same team.
Handshaking
Your handshake alone can set the stage for the rest of the interview. No pressure!
A too-firm handshake can signal you’re overcompensating. A too light handshake hints at a lack of confidence. If you offer a weak handshake during a high-pressure situation like an interview, the interviewer might wonder how you’d handle meeting an important stakeholder. Practice makes perfect so try some mock introductions with friends or family to get it right.
And don’t be afraid to be the first person to extend your hand. A strong handshake is one of the few ways to appropriately touch someone in a corporate setting, and it can instill a sense of kindness and warmth–if done right.
A word on eye contact
Think about the last few conversations you had. Did anyone stare at you for too long? Did they frequently look away? What was your gut reaction about that person?
Maintaining eye contact with your interviewer demonstrates you’re confident and can hold your own in a conversation, but staring too long can feel unnatural. If you consistently avert your interviewer’s gaze, your interviewer may find cause for concern–a shifty gaze signals you can’t be trusted.
Find the happy medium (eye contact about 70 percent of the time) that will demonstrate your emotional intelligence without scaring anyone away.
At its worst, poor body language can send a message that we’re incapable of the task at hand. When your dream job is on the line, you don’t want to risk losing out because you crossed your arms at the wrong time.
Create a neutral canvas to give yourself the best start for your next great opportunity.

Tabula Rosa Blog Of 11/21/2018 Hyperbaton Etymology – definition via Wikipedia








Buy the books at

 www.amazon.com/author/paulbabicki
====================================================












Hyperbaton 
 
Etymology – definition via Wikipedia



 
Etymology
"Hyperbaton" is a word borrowed from the Greek hyperbaton (ὑπέρβατον), meaning "stepping over," which is derived from hyper ("over") and bainein ("to step"), with the -tos verbal adjective suffix. The idea is that to understand the phrase, the reader has to "step over" the words inserted in between.
Classical usag
The separation of connected words for emphasis or effect is possible to a much greater degree in highly inflected languages,[5] where sentence meaning does not depend closely on word order. In Latin and Ancient Greek, the effect of hyperbaton is often to emphasize the first word. It has been called "perhaps the most distinctively alien feature of Latin word order."[1] Donatus, in his work On tropes, includes under hyperbaton five varieties: hysterologia, anastrophe (for which the term hyperbaton is sometimes used loosely as a synonym), parenthesis, tmesis, and synchysis.
Greek
  • ὑφ' ἑνὸς τοιαῦτα πέπονθεν ἡ Ἑλλὰς ἀνθρώπου (huph' henòs toiaûta péponthen hē Hellàs anthrṓpou) (Demosthenes 18.158)
"Greece has suffered such things at the hands of only one person"
In the above example, the word "(only) one", henos, occurs in its normal place after the preposition "at the hands of" (hupo), but "person" (anthrōpou) is unnaturally delayed, giving emphasis to "only one."
  • πρός σε γονάτων (prós se gonátōn) (occurs several times in Euripides)
"[I entreat] you by your knees"
Here the word "you" (se) divides the preposition "by" from its object "knees."
  • τίνα ἔχει δύναμιν; (tína ékhei dúnamin?) (Plato, Republic 358b)
"What power does it have?"[6]
New Testament Greek[edit]
Hyperbaton is also common in New Testament Greek, for example:[7]
  • οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος πολλὰ ποιεῖ σημεῖα (hoûtos ho ánthrōpos pollà poieî sēmeîa) (John 11:47)
"This man is performing many signs" (not merely a few)
  • διὰ τὸ ἐγγὺς εἶναι Ἰερουσαλὴμ αὐτόν (dià tò engùs eînai Ierousalḕm autón) (Luke 19:11)
"because of him being near Jerusalem" (not far)
  • ἴδετε πηλίκοις ὑμῖν γράμμασιν ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί (ídete pēlíkois humîn grámmasin égrapsa têi emêi kheirí) (Paul, Galatians 6:11)
"See, I have written to you with big letters in my own hand" (not small ones)
  • ταλαίπωρος ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπος (talaípōros egṑ ánthrōpos) (Paul, Romans 7:24)
"I (am) a wretched man" (not a fortunate one)
In all these examples and others in the New Testament, the first word of the hyperbaton is an adjective or adverb which is emphasised by being separated from the following noun. The separating word can be a verb, noun, or pronoun.[8]
Latin
Prose]
In Latin hyperbaton is frequently found, both in prose and verse. The following examples come from prose writers. Often there is an implied contrast between the first word of the hyperbaton and its opposite:[9]
  • meo tu epistulam dedisti servo? (Plautus, Pseudolus 1203)
"You gave the letter to my slave (i.e. not your own)?"
  • duas a te accepi epistulas heri (Cicero, Att., 14.2.1)
"I received two letters (duas epistulas) from you yesterday" (not just one).
  • hae permanserunt aquae dies complures. (Caesar, B.C. 1.50.1):
"This time the flood (hae aquae) lasted (permanserunt) several days" (unlike the earlier one).
  • ille sic dies (Cicero, Att. 5.1.3)
"So (passed) that day (ille dies)" (as opposed to the following one).
Sometimes the hyperbaton merely emphasises the adjective:
  • pro ingenti itaque victoria id fuit plebi. (Livy 4.54.6)
"The people saw this, therefore, as an enormous victory."[10]
  • magnam enim secum pecuniam portabat (Nepos, Hannibal, 9.2)
"for (enim) he was carrying a large sum of money (magnam pecuniam) with him (secum)".
  • magno cum fremitu et clamore (Cicero, to Atticus, 2.19.2)
"with (cum) a great deal of roaring and shouting"
The first word of the hyperbaton can also be an adverb, as in the following example:[11]
  • aeque vita iucunda (Cicero, de Finibus 4.30)
"a life (vita) equally pleasant (aeque iucunda).
In all the above examples, the first word of the hyperbaton can be said to be emphasised. The following is different, since there is no emphasis on sum "I am". Instead, the effect of emphasis is achieved by reversing the expected order ipse sum mensus to sum ipse mensus:
  • sum enim ipse mensus (Cicero, ad Quintum fratrem, 3.1.4)
"for I measured (sum mensus) it myself"
It is also possible for the noun to come first ("postmodifier hyperbaton"), as in the following:[12]
  • dies appetebat septimus (Caesar, B.G. 6.35.1)
"The seventh day was approaching"
  • Antonius legiones eduxit duas. (Cicero, ad Fam. 10.30.1)
"Antonius led out two legions."
The following even have a double hyperbaton:
  • cum ipse litteram Socrates nullam reliquisset. (Cicero, de Orat. 3.60)
"When Socrates himself didn't leave a single line of writing."
  • praeda potitus ingenti est (Livy 40.49.1)
"he took possession of an enormous amount of booty".
A hyperbaton can also be used to demonstrate a kind of picture shown in the text:
  • Hac in utramque partem disputatione habita" (Caesar, Bello Gallico 5.30)
"With the dispute being held unto either side" (showing an elegance to the dispute being on either side of the accusative prepositional phrase)
Another kind of hyperbaton is "genitive hyperbaton", in which one of the words is in the genitive case:[13]
  • contionem advocat militum (Caesar, Bellum Civile 2.32)
"He called a meeting of the soldiers."
In the following, a genitive hyperbaton and an adjectival hyperbaton are interleaved:
  • magnus omnium incessit timor animis (Caesar Bellum Civile 2.29)
"Great fear (magnus timor) overcame the minds of all of them (omnium animis)."
Another kind of hyperbaton (called "conjunct hyperbaton" by Devine and Stephens)[14] is found when a phrase consisting of two words joined by et ("and") is separated by another word:
  • Aspendus, vetus oppidum et nobile (Cicero, Verr. 2.1.53)
"Aspendus, an old town, and a noble one".
  • Faesulas inter Arretiumque (Livy, 22.3.3)
"Between Faesulae and Arretium".
