functional value and are syntactically independent or alone.

and without links between them. Thus, juxtaposed sentences have a meaning relationship that
is represented in writing by punctuation marks (comma, semicolon, colon)

between which there is a dependency relationship. This means that there is a sentence that is
considered main and another sentence depends on it.
