Parallelism in William Words Worth's selected short poems

Abstract EN

Sometimes people are able to memorize easily some lines of short poems or songs that they have studied or listened to a long time age, for example, in their childhood.

This is because of the structures of these lines which are characterized by being parallel.

Using the parallel structures is known linguistically as parallelism.

It simply means putting sentences or parts of sentences in similar structures.

The reason for doing this is either to create a connection among sentences within a text or to make them be easily memorized.

It is also used to avoid repetition.
