Is there a term for using conjugating verbs such that the sentence continues with another clause?

Question

I'm referring specifically to using the て form to form a pseudo conjunction, and specifically the transformation of verbs in formal writing by using the verb stem instead of て form.

For example the following sentence:

多くの人が押し掛け、大騒ぎになっているという

Is there a grammatical term for this, either a verb form or some sort of usage term?

Answer 1

I believe that when you use the 連用形 as a conjunction, the form is referred to as the 中止形.

This usage is described by 中止法.
