How to say "succession of actions" (linguistics) in Japanese? How to say "succession of actions" (linguistics) in Japanese? The context here is linguistics, as for instance, "The conjunct "and" is used to express a succession of actions". I found that 'succession' is said and I bet it is the correct word for this expression. But I can't find the correct word for 'action' here. From different searches on Google, I found some instances of "" or "", but I don't know, it seems it is not so common.

I don't know the technical term, but just as a Japanese phrase, the most likely is . may work as well. The difference between the two is the emphasis is on _action_ in the former, _succession_ in the latter.
