Hi, I googled just the first thing on your list and got a few hits. For example: With regard to terminology, an independent clause is also called a paratactic clause , and a dependent clause a hypotactic clause . Likewise, a compound sentence is known as a paratactic construction , and a complex sentence a hypotactic construction .

- For the sake of comparison between parataxis and hypotaxis , it may be useful to use the term primary clauses for both the initiating clause of a paratactic construction and the main clause of a hypotactic construction ; and secondary clauses for both the continuing clause of a paratactic construction and the dependent clause of a hypotactic construction .
- It should be mentioned here that the main clause of a hypotactic construction is also known as a dominant clause .

hypotaxis is when you use : and or commas and what not to string a sentence together. For example, She went to the store and picked up a pair or pink stillettos. The sentence would not be complete without the AND. Therefore, hypotactic sentences are dependent. Whereas, parotactic sentences are not.
