PARALLEL
STRUCTURE
Pengertian
Parallel Structure adalah
kesamaan atau kesetaraan dalam kalimat yang biasanya digunakan untuk
menyebutkan beberapa item (sesuatu) yang jumlahnya lebih dari satu dan dalam
kalimat biasanya berfungsi sebagai Subject atau Object. Namun terkadang juga
merupakan beberapa Verb jika kalimat tersebut kalimat
majemuk setara.
Misalnya, ada yang disebut konjungsi
sederajat (and, but, or) yaitu menggabungkan bersama-sama pernyataan yang sama
menjadi struktur paralel. Konjungsi ini bisa menggabungkan kata benda (noun), kata kerja (verb), kata sifat (adjective), frasa (phrase), anak
kalimat, atau kalimat utama. Masing-masing hanya dapat digabungkan jika
bentuknya yang sama.
