Parallellism
− the use of identical or similar parallel syntactical structure in 
two or more sentences or then parts. Parallelism
 
means a more or less 
complete identity of syntactical structures of two or more contiguous 
sentences or verse lines: 
e.g. «The cock is crowing,
The stream is flowing,
The small birds twitter,
The lake doth glitter»
(Wordsworth) 
Paranomasia
− using words similar in sound but different in meaning for 
euphonic effect. 
Parenthetic elements 
− words, phrases and clauses disconnected 
grammatically with their syntactical surroundings, also possess stylistic 
value. Parenthesis may perform the following stylistic functions: 
• to reproduce two parallel lines of thought, two different planes of narration 
(in the author's speech), e. g.: 
e.g. «... he was struck by the thought (what devil's whisper? — what evil hint 
of an evil spitir?) — supposing that he and Roberta— no, say he and 
Sondra— (no, Sondra could swim so well and so could he) — he and 
Roberta were in a small boat somewhere... » (Dreiser);
• to make the sentence or clause more conspicuous, more emphatic, e. g.: 
e.g. «The main entrance (he had never ventured to look beyond that) was a 
splendiferous combination of a glass and iron awning...» (Dreiser);
• to strengthen the emotional force by making part of the utterance 
interrogative or exclamatory, e. g.: 
e.g. «Неrе is a long passage — what an enormous prospective I make of it! 
— leading from Peggoty's kitchen to the front door» (Dickens);
