Zusammenfassung
The claim that parataxis precedes hypotaxis in the history of English is an idea with a long pedigree; however, the empirical evidence for it is limited. In this chapter, I revisit the question of parataxis and hypotaxis diachronically, focusing on two different claims. The first is the idea that finite clausal complementation emerged from clausal juxtaposition. Following Axel-Tober (2012, 2017), I argue that this scenario is implausible. The second is the idea that the proportion of subordinate clauses increases gradually over time. This quantitative claim can be assessed using parsed historical corpora. No gradual increase can be observed; rather, we see substantial genre-conditioned variation. I conclude that the idea of parataxis preceding hypotaxis might be ready for retirement.
