Repetative Parallelism
Here is some random stuff that I found on Repetative Parallelism- Nothing Concrete- just some references:
Parallelism runs over us like as series of waves driving the message home. There are different kinds of parallelism:
semantic parallelism
Synonomous parallelism (e.g. Ps. 2)
Identical - Ps.24:1
Similar - Ps.19:2
Antithetic parallelism - Ps.1:6; Prov.10:1
The thesis & antithesis are making the same point.
Synthetic/Constructive parallelism (everything that doesn't fit the other patterns)
Completion (a parallelism of rhythm rather than of meaning) - Ps.2:6
Comparison - Prov.15:17
Reason - Prov.26:4
Climactic or repetitive parallelism - Ps.29:1
Emblematic parallelism - Prov. 25:25, 11:22, Ps. 26:2, 42:1
The use of imagery in conjunction with parallelism.
Pivot pattern - Ps. 98:2
A clause is shared between two lines.
Chiasm (e.g. Ps1:1,6)
The entire 2nd Psalm is a chiastic form (1-3 & 10-12)
grammatical parallelism
This involves the repetition of the parts of speech from one line to the next, although not necessarily in the same order (e.g. Ps.2:5; He rebukes them in his anger {verb-direct object-prepositional phrase} and in his wrath he terrifies them {prepositional phrase-verb-direct object}. This serves to tie one line with another.

a. Staircase parallelism This feature of the parallelistic couplet, otherwise known as 'climactic' or 'repetitive' parallelism, or the 'expanded colon', has long been recognized./23/ Wilfred Watson notes some forty examples,/24/ including Jer. 31.21:
larcy tlwtb ybwv Return, O virgin Israel,hla °yr[ la ybv Return to these your cities.
From a formal perspective, the description 'staircase' is apt, but from a more semantic perspective it is easily seen that such a form is an instance of the parallelism of greater precision. In the example quoted, the Þrst line leaves unstated the place to which Israel is to return; the B-line speciÞes the full signiÞcance of 'return' in A. It is true of course that it is not only that the B-line is more speciÞc than the A-line but also that the A is more speciÞc than the B. Such cases do not negate the parallelism of greater precision; they are a subset of the examples of our feature.
