Searching for antithetical parallelism
I would like to find every example of antithetical parallelism in the Gospels. Is there a good way to do a search like this? I would like the results to include verses where the lines are not perfectly parallel, such as Luke 12:4-5.

Rhetorical features such as antithetical parallelism are not identifiable by any of the grammatical or syntax coding added to the text. The best you can do is find those cases where an author refers to it as antithetical parallelism and considers it relevant to mention. How extensive this list will be depends upon the resources you use. Searching commentators can be done as illustrated by KS4J above.
As antithetical parallelism is more common in Hebrew than in Greek you may find this article informative: http://jewishstudies.eteacherbiblical.com/cataloging-the-new-testaments-hebraisms-parts-1-5/
