What is the difference between Anaphora and Repetition?
Answers
Explanation:
As nouns the difference between repetition and anaphora
is that repetition is the act or an instance of repeating or being repeated while anaphora is (rhetoric) the repetition of a phrase at the beginning of phrases, sentences, or verses, used for emphasis.
Answer:
Anaphora : In rhetoric, an anaphora is a rhetorical device that consists of repeating a sequence of words at the beginnings of neighboring clauses, thereby lending them emphasis. In contrast, an epistrophe is repeating words at the clauses' ends. The combination of anaphora and epistrophe results in symploce.
Repetition : Repetition is the simple repeating of a word, within a short space of words, with no particular placement of the words to secure emphasis. It is a multilinguistic written or spoken device, frequently used in English and several other languages, such as Hindi and Chinese, and so rarely termed a figure of speech.
