according to aristotle, persuasion is created through parallel syntax by means of repetition. recapping crucial aspects of an argument through properly created phrases and clauses further embeds the idea into the listener, ultimately resulting in persuasion. however, these clauses must be created precisely, in a way similar to poetry, in order to maximize the effect. for example, paired sentences, phrases, or clauses must be created with equal structure in regards to verb and noun choice, along with both number of syllables and meter; according to aristotle, the more ways in which these aspects match, the more persuasive the argument will be.
