Hi folks,
Having just joined, this is my first ever question here and I was advised to post it in this specific section of the forum.
I have been trying to find out the reasons why authors make the decisions to present certain grammatical/language features which they do. I have watched many You-Tube tutorials but it does not seem to be too often that people respond to viewers questions. Also. many You-Tube videos are not especially well presented (to put it lightly!)
I believe the term is 'epic-catalog'?
Many thanks in advance for any kind assistance offered here . . .
Best,

What is (please) the main reason behind a long-list of nouns. I think the intended effect is to cause the reader a sense of feeling 'overwhelmed':
eg. "They carried tables, chairs, books, shoes, coats, bedding, curtains, cushions and paintings into the lobby".
