Task B - Grammatical parallelism - opposite meaning
We
have already needed to bring in the idea of grammatical parallelism in
our discussion of the phonemic parallelism we saw in Task A. In that case
the parallelism rule promoted parallel meaning between the words discussed.
Some of the grammatical parallelism also promotes parallel meaning, but
there are also cases where 'opposite meaning' is promoted.
Consider the examples below, working out how exactly
they are parallel in grammatical terms, what oppositional meaning relations
are involved in each case, and how they connect to your overall understanding
of the passage. You can then compare you're your thoughts with ours.
After you have read through the examples, you can make the oppositonal
parallelisms more obvious if you want, by clicking on the 'make obvious
button' below.
