平行結(jié)構(gòu)準(zhǔn)則是英語(yǔ)修辭學(xué)中的統(tǒng)一性（Umity）中的一項(xiàng)，是英語(yǔ)高考作文中最為常見的表現(xiàn)手段。平行結(jié)構(gòu)準(zhǔn)則的準(zhǔn)確把握對(duì)于閱讀、寫作將產(chǎn)生積極的影響。

平行結(jié)構(gòu)準(zhǔn)則要求：同等重要的、并列的成分（思想、概念）要用同類的語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)形式來表現(xiàn)。最為常見的語(yǔ)法形式莫過于并列連詞和介詞短語(yǔ)instead of了。它們所連接的部分應(yīng)該是對(duì)等的—— 名詞對(duì)名詞，動(dòng)詞對(duì)動(dòng)詞，副詞對(duì)副詞，形容詞對(duì)形容詞，分詞對(duì)分詞，不定式對(duì)不定式，句子對(duì)句子，切忌把同一結(jié)構(gòu)中的一個(gè)概念用一種形式來表現(xiàn)而把另外的概念用其他形式來表達(dá)。

筆者把在教學(xué)過程中發(fā)現(xiàn)的主要并列連詞和instead of的用法推介給英語(yǔ)教學(xué)者，以期拋磚引玉。

1 主要并列連詞及其用法

1.1 And類并列連詞

1.2 OR類并列連詞
