Run-on sentences are bad style, if I'm any judge. Although, I wonder how much this relies on normal forms and getting normalization wrong.
The grammar of an average english science magazine reminds me of German first-grader text.
- kuschku 11y agoWell, not run-on sentences. Those are different from nested sentences. A nested sentence is a sentence structure, a combination of main sentences, which are sentences that could stand a lone, and a subclauses, which are clauses that are dependent on main sentences, in a specific way that allows for easier understanding, which is done by providing an explanation for a specific part in a subclause. As you can see, this doesn’t really work well in english, but in German sentences actually become MORE readable if done like this.
- conceit 11y agoI doubt there's any difference, because the example and my modification translate to German exactly, word by word.
