- Parallel_syntax abstract "In rhetoric, Parallel Syntax (also known as parallel construction and parallelism) is a rhetorical device that consists of repetition among adjacent sentences or clauses. The repeated sentences or clauses provides emphasis to a center theme or idea the author is trying to convey.In language, syntax is the structure of a sentence, so this can also be called parallel sentence structure. This rhetorical tool improves the flow of a sentence, making it more concise by eliminating unnecessary words that could distract the reader from the main point. Parallel structure is like the derived conjunction analysis because it assumes several underlying complete sentences.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. Also, parallel syntax adds a figure of balance to sentences it is implemented into.Parallel syntax is often used in conjunction with Antithesis, Anaphora, Asyndeton, Climax, Epistrophe and Symploce.".
