Parallelism

1. PARALLELISM TRESNA NUR ANDINI

2. DEFINITION OF PARALLELISM Parallelism is a grammatical and rhetorical device used to create balance and harmony in sentences, paragraphs, or larger units of writing. It involves structuring elements within a sentence or passage so that they have a similar form, function, or structure. This consistency in structure helps to convey ideas clearly and effectively, making the writing more cohesive and easier to understand. Parallelism enhances the clarity and effectiveness of writing by creating a sense of balance and rhythm. Writers often use parallel structure intentionally to emphasize key points, improve readability, and create a sense of cohesion in their writing.

4. Parallel Structure in Sentences In sentences, parallelism involves using the same grammatical structure for corresponding elements. This could involve parallel clauses, phrases, or words. Example: "She likes to hike, to swim, and to bike." In this sentence, the parallel structure is maintained by using the infinitive form ("to") for each action ver

5. Parallelism in Lists Lists are a common place to employ parallelism. When listing items, it's important to ensure consistency in grammatical structure. Example: "He enjoys reading, writing, and playing music." Each item in the list ("reading," "writing," "playing music") follows the same gerund form.

6. Parallelism in Comparisons Parallelism is also used in comparisons to maintain balance between the elements being compared. Example: "The conference was both informative and engaging." In this comparison, both adjectives ("informative" and "engaging") are of the same form, maintaining parallelism

7. Parallelism in Conjunctions Conjunctions should connect similar grammatical structures to maintain parallelism. Example: "She is both intelligent and hardworking." Here, the conjunction "and" connects two adjectives ("intelligent" and "hardworking") of the same form.

8. Parallelism in Correlative Conjunctions Correlative conjunctions, such as "either...or," "neither...nor," "both...and," require parallel structures on either side. Example: "You can either eat now or later." Both options ("eat now" and "later") are in the same verb form, maintaining parallelism.
