Full parallelism – antithesis + another stylistic device
When Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, he said that it was
a small
step for man, but a giant leap for mankind
.
It is a case of full parallelism and at the same time contains a lexical stylistic device -
hyperbole (
giant step
). Antonymous pairs: small – giant; man – mankind (the latter is a variation of
concrete and abstract nouns).

Partial parallelism
Patience is bitter, but it has a sweet fruit.
(Aristotle)
It is an example of partial parallelism as the second clause, unlike the first one, has an object
and its attribute. Antithesis is formed using the antonymous pairs
bitter
and
sweet
what is strengthened
by the conjunction
but
.
