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 derelativization
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).
