To better understand the ordering of clause aggregation operators in a text generation application, we manually annotated a small corpus. The annotated corpus supports the preferred ordering of transformations that result in shorter surface expressions, such as adjectives over relative clauses. In addition, we were able to explain why paratactic operators are applied before and after hypotactic...

The article focuses on the factors that cause linear and vertical sentence extension of multiple complex-compound sentences used in English fictional literature. Considering the sentence structure as a combination of 2 Units – paratactic and hypotactic the authors define the structural peculiarities of paratactic and hypotactic units including the number of clauses and its bonds.
