- Parallelism (rhetoric) (Wikipedia)
Parallelism is a rhetorical device that compounds words or phrases that have equivalent meanings so as to create a definite pattern. This structure is particularly effective when “specifying or enumerating pairs or series of like things”. A scheme of balance, parallelism represents “one of the basic principles of grammar and rhetoric”.
