Twatson:

A wiki is a term referring to a server site where questions are answered in the form of a definition. A wiki site allows anyone the ability to edit and improve a given definition by adding new relative information. (Wiki). “The beauty of Wiki is in the freedom, simplicity, and the power it offers.” It is recommended that one should read the topics carefully before adding a new topic to avoid clutter. (Welcome Visitors).

"The word wiki is a short form of the Hawaiian ''wiki-wiki '' which means "quick." The first wiki was created by Ward Cunningham in 1995, who was looking to create an easy authoring tool that might spur people to publish. And the key word here is "easy," because, plainly put, a wiki is a Website where anyone can edit anything they want." (Richardson, 59).

What is parallel structure?

2006-11-17T17:20:30Z

Twatson:

According to the book of Foundations First sentences and paragraph with Readings. 2nd ed. suggests that "parallel structure as repeating the same grammatical structure for example, all nouns, and verbs, and so on to express comparable or equuvalent ideas." (Kirszner and Mandell p.213A)

Example: Paul Robeson was an (actor) and a (singer).
(two nouns)
Example: When my brother comes home from college, he eats, sleeps, and watches televison. (three verbs)

Parallel structuer is especially important in paired items, comparisons, and items in a series.

Example: Jemera takes Alex to daycare and then goes to work. The sentence uses coordinating conjunction. A coordinating conjuction is and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet are use for paired items.

In the book of A Writer's Reference the fifth ed. illustrates "parallel as two or more ideas, that are easier to grasp when expressed in parallel grammatical form."
Example:
Paired ideas are usually connected in one of these ways

----with a coordinating conjuction such as and, but, or or

---- with a pair of correlative conjuction such as either...or or not only... but also

----with a word introducing a comparion, usually than or as (Hacker 81-83)

In the book of The New Century HandBook suggests that "parallelism is the words and phrases that are linked by the coordinating conjunctions and, but, or, or nor often are parallel in content." (Huckin and Hult p.759)

According to Benjamin Franklin wrote "A penny saved is a penny earned."(qtd. in Parallelism p.759) Huckin and Hult points out," he was using parallelism."

In the book of Foundations First sentences and paragraphs by,Laurie G. Kirszner&Stephen R.Mandell in chapter
13 Using Parallelism on page 213,(13a)to recognize parallel structure and to use parallel structure(13b) begins with Reconizing Parallel Structure:
Parallelism means repeating the same grammatical structure for example, all nouns, all verbs, and so on_to express comparable or equivalent ideas.

Example: Paul Robeson was an (actor) and a (singer).
(two nouns)
Example: When my brother comes home from college, he eats, sleeps, and watches televison. (three verbs)

These are example of parallel structure that is use in a sentence.

In (13b) to use parallel structure:
Parallelism enables you to emphasize related ideas, and it makes your sentences easier to read. Parallel structuer is especially important in paired items, comparisons, and items in a series.
Example: Jemera takes Alex to daycare and then goes to work.''Italic text''coordinating conjunction and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet are use for paired items as used in the sentences.
Example: It often costs less to rent a house than to buy one.''Italic text''comparisons formed with than or as is used in a parallel structure.

Paired ideas are usually connected in one of these ways
