In rhetoric, parallel syntax (also known as parallel construction, parallel structure, and parallelism) is a rhetorical device that consists of repetition among adjacent sentences or clauses. The repeated sentences or clauses provide emphasis to a central theme or idea the author is trying to convey. Parallelism is the mark of a mature language speaker. Parallel syntax is often used in conjunction with antithesis, anaphora, asyndeton, climax, epistrophe and symploce.

  • В грамматике, параллелизм, также известный как параллельные структуры или параллельные конструкции, — это баланс в пределах одного или более предложений фраз или предложений, которые имеют одинаковую грамматическую структуру. Применение параллелизма улучшает стиль написания и читабельности, а также улучшает процесс создания предложений. Параллелизм достигается с помощью антитезы, анафоры, бессоюзия, климакса, эпифоры и симплоки. (ru)

  • In rhetoric, parallel syntax (also known as parallel construction, parallel structure, and parallelism) is a rhetorical device that consists of repetition among adjacent sentences or clauses. The repeated sentences or clauses provide emphasis to a central theme or idea the author is trying to convey. Parallelism is the mark of a mature language speaker. In language, syntax is the structure of a sentence, thus parallel syntax can also be called parallel sentence structure. This rhetorical tool improves the flow of a sentence as it adds a figure of balance to sentences it is implemented into. It also aids in making the sentence more concise by eliminating unnecessary words that could distract the reader from the main idea and following a clear pattern of language. It is a simple way to achieve clarity and avoid ambiguity, but it is avoided unless the relationship of the ideas or details they express justifies parallelism. Parallel structure is like the derived conjunction analysis because it assumes several underlying complete sentences. In addition to providing emphasis, it is evident that parallel structure appeals to the reader or listener in a variety of ways as well. Primarily, the repetition of clauses promotes a heightened mental ability to process the sentence as a whole; studies have shown that the reiteration of the second clause will increase the speed an individual can process the sentence. Furthermore, it decreases the load of information needed to be processed by the reader, facilitating comprehension. Because it is more appealing, it is also more persuasive. According to Aristotle, persuasion is created through parallel syntax by means of repetition. Recapping crucial aspects of an argument through properly created phrases and clauses further embeds the idea into the listener, ultimately resulting in persuasion. However, these clauses must be created precisely, in a way similar to poetry, in order to maximize the effect. For example, paired sentences, phrases, or clauses must be created with equal structure in regards to verb and noun choice, along with both number of syllables and meter; according to Aristotle, the more ways in which these aspects match, the more persuasive the argument will be. Faulty parallelism most often occurs with coordinating conjunctions that connect nouns and adjectives. Using parallel syntax among two clauses is known as an isocolon, when among three clauses it is known as a tricolon. Having similar syntactical structure among clauses or phrases helps the reader identify the similarity of ideas proposed within them. Isocolon is made up of the Greek words iso (equal) and kolon (member), so each part or clause is the same length. A tricolon has 3 clauses that do not need to be the same length. An isocolon can be a tricolon but a tricolon cannot be an isocolon. Parallel syntax is often used in conjunction with antithesis, anaphora, asyndeton, climax, epistrophe and symploce. (en)
