DescriptionThe repetition of a word sequence used at the end of a phrase or sentence at the start of the next phrase or sentence. ExampleIf you are going to play wolf, play wolf like the real thing. I would but run away. Run away, perhaps today. Perhaps today I will. I will run away. Will you come with me? Come with me to a better place. A place where we can be together forever, forever where we can do what we know must be done. DiscussionWhen something is repeated, a pattern is created. We are programmed to recognize patterns and so we pay attention. Repetition emphasizes. It hammers home the message that 'this is important'. Anadiplosis is a typical device that is used when building a climax, with words set up in increasing importance. Spoken, this is likely to be done with rising tone. Anadiplosis comes from the Greek word for 'doubling' or 'repetition'. Classification: Repetition See alsoAnaphora, Using repetition, Repetition principle, Amplification principle |
