Syntaxis (contrasted to parataxis) is a writing or rhetorical style that favors complex syntax, as against simple sentence structures. For example, 19th century German academic prose, and John Milton's "Paradise Lost" poetry in English are notably syntactic.

In Geological terms, "Syntaxis is referred as the melting and assimilation of the country rock" [The Penguin Dictionary of Geology, D.G.A. Whitten and J.R.V. Brooks]
