Repetition – is aimed at giving logical emphasis and fixing attention to the key word.

Types:

1) ordinary repetition (repeated unit doesn’t have a fixed place in the sentence);

2) anaphora (initial position of repeated unit at the beginning; the aim is to make the word more memorable, to increase the sound harmony);

3) epiphora (at the end of a s-ce);

4) framing (beginig+end);

5) anadiplosis (end of a previous part and beginning of the next);

6) chain repetition (succession of several anadiplosises);

7) root repetition (the root is repeated).
