The kinds of operation by which structure is optionally reorganized in (1) above are entirely typical of those used in the 290 stories I have analysed. Variations on co-ordination and de-co-ordination, relativization and de- relativization are particularly common. Attribution sentences have different sentences embedded as their complements; an NP of one sentence is embedded under a preposition as PP in another sentence; relative clauses are de-embedded to become main clauses (15), or re-embedded into other sentences; main clauses are embedded as relative or time clauses in other sentences (16).
