Talk:Parallelism (rhetoric)

Should not be merged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.31.195.252 (talk) 01:57, 9 August 2010 (UTC) Isn't the churchill quote "...the inherent virtue of socialism..."

yeah it is, I checked the James C. Humes biography.

Effect?

The general rhetoric effect of parallelism should be mentioned in there somewhere, or the article should be merged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.16.65.43 (talk) 00:43, 11 November 2009 (UTC) Should be merged —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.210.73.168 (talk) 03:41, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Merge proposal

I strongly recommend against merging Parallelism (rhetoric) with Parallelism (grammar) because they are two separate concepts. The grammatical concept deals primarily phrase agreement and sentence structure, whereas the rhetoric pages addresses the paragraph scale and another type of parallelism as a whole.Jackson Peebles (talk) 05:20, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I have to agree with Jackson, above. Rhetorical Parallelism and Grammatical Parallelism are different subjects. Rhetorical Parallelism is concerned with the balancing of concepts to create a flow of like ideas. Grammatical Parallelism is about with ensuring that sentences with two or more parts have their parts in a similar form.cruinne (talk) 16:17, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

"Examples" of parallelism? Can you provide supporting source?

"We charge him with having broken his coronation-oath—and we are told that he kept his marriage given up his people to the merciless inflictions of the most hard-hearted of prelates—and the defense is that he took his little son on his knee and kissed him. We censure him for having violated the Petition of Right—and we are informed that he was accustomed to hear prayers at six o'clock in the morning." (Macaulay)

“Veni, vidi, vici (I came, I saw, I conquered [Note that the past tense of the verbs are also parallel, although they can't be bolded since the past forms of each verb are different in English.]).” (Julius Caesar)

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessing; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." (Churchill)

"But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream." (Amos)

"What you see is what you get." (English proverb)
