Juxtaposition refers to placing two opposing or contrasting elements side-by-side to highlight their differences or similarities. In art, juxtaposition is often used to bring out a specific quality or create an effect. An example would be juxtaposing a machine-made object against a natural element to contrast their qualities. Parataxis in composition refers to placing verbal elements side-by-side without connecting words, allowing the reader to interpret connections. It creates a loose, narrative style where each element stands independently.

Definition: Simply stated, juxtaposition means placing things side-by-
side. In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used. The viewer's attention is drawn to the similarities or differences between the elements. While juxtaposition can be used in terms of formal elements - for example, the use of aggressive mark-making in contrast to an area of very controlled shading, or an area of crisp detail against something softly handled, it more often refers to concepts or imagery. An artist might juxtapose a machine-made object or urban environment against organic elements of nature, in order to highlight different qualities in the two. Note that the way this is done can dramatically change the meaning: we might regard the machine-made or human-created as representing safety and order against the uncontrollable strength of nature; or we might see the fragility and beauty of nature against the soul-less uniformity of the urban world, depending on the nature of the subjects or images and the way they are presented.
Definition: In composition, the placing of verbal elements side by side, leaving it up to the reader to establish connections and impose a meaning. These verbal elements (words, clauses, sentences) may be drawn from different sources and juxtaposed to form a literary collage.
A rhetorical term for phrases or clauses arranged independently: coordinate, rather than a subordinate, construction. (Contrast with hypotaxis.) Adjective: paratactic. Parataxis is sometimes used as a synonym for asyndeton--that is, the coordination of phrases and clauses without coordinating conjunctions. Characteristics of Paratactic Prose "In paratactic prose, clauses are loosely connected, creating a lopping discourse of here's another thing and another thing and another thing. . . . Paratactic prose occurs more frequently in narrative and explanation, and hypotactic prose more frequently in explicit arguments." (Jeanne Fahnestock, Rhetorical Style: The Uses of Language in Persuasion. Oxford Univ. Press, 2011)
"When clauses are linked in a relationship of equality, we say that the relationship is paratactic. Parataxis is the relationship between units of equal status. . . . Paratactic linking is often treated as equivalent to coordination . . .; more exactly, coordination is one type of parataxis, others being juxtaposition and linking by conjunctions such as so and yet." (Angela Downing and Philip Locke, A University Course in English Grammar. Prentice Hall, 1992) Parataxis allows for the coherence of a narrative's themes to be independent of the sequential organization of the story elements. Use of paratactic ordering is common in folksongs and even myths where the rearrangement of story elements in their order of presentation does not damage or confuse the story.
