anaphora a…, a…, a… 
It is identity of initial parts of two or more autonomous syntactical segments (verse 
lines, stanzas, paragraphs, etc.), adjacent or at a distance in the text, yet obviously connected 
semantically), e.g. 
 I love your hills, 
I love your walls, 
I love your flocks and bleating. (Keats) 
•
epiphora …a, …a, …a. 
(As opposed to 
anaphora 
implies recurrence of one or several elements concluding 
two or more syntactical units), e.g.: 
 I wake up and I am alone 

---

and I walk round Warley and I am alone; 
and I talk to people and I am alone 
and I look at his face when I’m home and it’s dead.
(J.Br.)
•
framing abca. 
(The term is used to denote the recurrence of the initial segment at the very end of a 
syntactic unit, by which a kind of frame is formed with the help of recurring words)
 
•
anadiplosis (catch repetition) …a, a…
(Greek “doubling”; the final element of a syntactical unit reappears at the very 
beginning of the succeeding unit, the concluding part of the preceding unit serves the 
starting point of the next) It repeats the last word of one phrase, clause, or sentence at or 
very near the beginning of the text. It can be generated in series for the sake of beauty or to 
give a sense of logical progression (…a, a…). e.g.: 
Pleasure might cause her read, reading 
might make her know, … 
•
chain repetition …a, a…b, b…c, c… 
(Presents several successive anadiploses, the effect is that of the smoothly developing 
reasoning, e.g.: 
Living is the art of loving. 
Loving is the art of caring. 
Caring is the art of sharing. 
Sharing is the art of living.
(W.H.D.)
