lexical repetition
) and conjunctions and prepositions (
polysyndeton
).
Polysyndeton
. Is the use of conjunction between each word, phrase, or clause, and it 
thus structurally the opposite of asyndeton. The rhetorical effect of polysyndeton, however, 
often shares with that of asyndeton a feeling of multiplicity, energetic, enumeration and 
building up. Polysyndeton is a repeated use of conjunctions. Is to strengthen the idea of 
equal logical /emotive importance of connected sentences(V.A. Kucharenko). e.g. 
By the 
time he had got all the bottles and dishes and knives and forks and glasses and plates and 
spoons and things piled up on big trays, he was getting very hot, and red in the face, and 
annoyed.
(A.Tolkien) 
Parallel constructions
 
can be partial and complete.
Partial parallel arrangement
is the repetition of some arts of successive sentences or 
clauses.
Complete parallel arrangement, also called balance, maintains the principal of identical 
structures throughout the corresponding sentences. There are two main functions of parallel 
constructions
:
semantic
(suggest equal semantic significance of the component parts) and 
structural (
rhythmical design to these component parts). 
Reversed parallelism is called 
chiasmus. 
The second part of a chiasmus is, in fact, 
inversion of the first construction. Thus, if the first sentence (clause) has a direct word order 
- SPO, the second one will have it inverted - OPS. Like parallel constructions chiasmus 
contributes to the rhythmical quantity of the utterance, and the pause caused by the change 
in the syntactical pattern may be likened to a caesura in prosody.
