    Conventions and style


    Using syntax for elaboration

    The Syntax: of a sentence is its structure, or the arrangement of


    and relationships among its words

    Apposition: a grammatical structure where two nouns or noun


    phrases are placed side by side, with one explaining or adding
    more information about the other. The second noun phrase is
    called the appositive.

    For example:
    ● "My friend, a talented musician, is performing tonight."
    Here, "a talented musician" is the appositive, explaining
    more about "my friend." Apposition is used to clarify or add
    detail to a noun.
    Diazeugma: a rhetorical device where a single subject is linked to
    multiple verbs or verb phrases, showing a sequence of actions
    performed by that subject. It creates a sense of rapid movement
    or complexity of actions.

    For example:

    ● "The dog barked, ran, and jumped."

    In this sentence, "the dog" (the subject) is doing three things:


    barking, running, and jumping. Diazeugma emphasizes the
    variety or progression of actions connected to one subject.
