| Abstract | ||
| Parallelism is one of the devices used to create a cohesive link. It is a common Phenomenon in English used to create consistency in the arrangement of parallel lines and to create beautiful structural patterns with some musical effect. It is a stylistic device of repetition and a separate system of parallelism, or rhyming of ideas rather than sounds. The remarkable degree of overlap of form and content ensures a remarkable degree of accuracy, or transfer of meaning (Aproberts;1977.1 ) The present paper deals with the problem of how parallel structures tie a poem and make it cohesive and why Moore uses parallelism and which type is the most important one and why she concentrates upon it? Three poems written by Marianne Moore have been selected with the aim of investigating the use of parallelism and revealing how parallelism affects the cohesion of these poems, and the role parallelism plays in modern poetry use that makes cohesive poems both semantically and syntactically . The paper concludes that parallelism is a figure of balance identified by similarity in the syntactic structure. Moore focused on syntactic parallelism more than semantic one .They both complete each other. Throughout the analysis of these three poems, it has been noticed that Marianne Moore uses grammatical parallelism in both syntactic and morphological levels as well as semantic and phonological levels. Furthermore, it has been noticed that the synthetic parallelism is used more than antithetical and synonymous parallelism i.e parallelism is seen here as a category of persuasive strategies. | ||
