Definition
The division of text or speech into commas or short segments; the arrangement of phrases in writing or oratory.
Etymology
From Latin 'commatio,' related to 'comma' through Greek 'komma.' This is a scholarly term used in the study of classical rhetoric and textual analysis.
Kelly Says
How a writer or speaker arranges their commation—the length and shape of phrases—is invisible to most people but it's what makes some writing flow beautifully while other writing feels clunky.
