Combined with systems of interdependence, the logical semantic relations reflect a competitive number among the texts. Text A, with a bigger number of
clause complexes, shows a hypotactic locution as the highest number seen in 13 clause complexes whereas paratactic locution gets a half through 5 clauses. The
second place goes to hypotactic enhancement through clause complexes while paratactic enhancement only goes through 1 clause complex. Paratactic elaboration is
less contributive showed in only 1 clause complex. Hypotactic elaboration in 6 clause complexes presents an equal number as paratactic extension in 5 clause
complexes. On the other hand, hypotactic extension shows a less number in 4 clause complexes. Overall, there is no any idea relation appeared on text A.
39 Hypotactic elaboration in text B leads the distribution through 7 clause
complexes. There is no paratactic elaboration identified. The number of hypotactic extension in 6 clause complexes is two times of paratactic extension in 3 clause
complexes. It also happens for hypotactic locution. It occurs in 3 clause complexes. Otherwise paratactic locution occurs in 6 clause complexes. Hypotactic enhancement
is seen in 4 clause complexes while paratactic enhancement is seen only in 1 clause complex. Hypotactic idea only appears in 1 clause complex while paratactic idea
does not at all.
