Synonym repetition. The nature of this type of repetition consists in the 
reiteration of the same notion by means of various synonyms: 
“The poetry of earth is never 
dead
; the poetry of earth is 
ceasing
never”
(J.Keats). 
“A horrible despair, and at the same time a sense of release, liberation came 
over Hermoon; she fondly seized the yelling, wet child, and hugged it and 
soothed it and comforted it in her encircling beautiful arms.”
(A. Bennett)

Pleonasm and Tautology stand very close to synonym repetition. Usually it 
consists in the repetition of a part of the sentence (usually the subject), expressed by a 
noun, by means of the corresponding pronoun: 
“And 
the books
 
– they
stood on the shelf ”; “
The wound
, it seemed both 
sore and sad”; 
 “It was a clear starry night, 
and not a cloud was to be seen
”. 
In some cases tautology s considered to be a fault of style. But in oratory it 
helps the audience to grasp the meaning of the utterance. 
Not an independent lexical unit is repeated, but a morpheme, usually the 
“-ing”,- suffix: 
“He now stood before the council: shining and winking, and gleaming, and 
twinkling…” 
The stylistic importance of this kind of repetition can hardly be argued, for the 
emotive colouring of the passage is created through it. 
One of the leading functions of repetition is to intensify the utterance, to bring 
emphasis into narration. However, the overuse of repetition may bring sadness, 
meditation and thus monotony appears, which is considered the lack of style. 
In poetry repetition performs the rhythmical function. Among different functions
of repetition we distinguish so-called background function. The stylistic device of this

type of repetition is to create the background against which the unrepeated words and 
word combinations become more emphatic and thus more important.
Stylistic functions of repetition are various and many-sided. Besides emphasizing 
the most important part of the utterance, rendering the emotions of the speaker or 
showing his emotive attitude towards the object described, it may play a minor 
stylistic role, showing durability of action.
Repetition is realized mostly through the twice-repeated verb with the conjunction 
“and” in between: 
“The water rose and rose”
(Dickens). 
“The woman talked and talked”. 
Like many stylistic devices, repetition is polyfunctional. Every repetition enhances 
the rhythmical aspect of the utterance. 
Suspense
- is a compositional device that consists in arranging the utterance in 
such a way, that the less important, descriptive parts are placed at the beginning, 
while the main idea is presented in the end of the utterance. The sentences of this type 
are called periodic. Thus the reader's interest is held up, he is kept in a state of 
uncertainty and expectation. This device is typical of oratory style. Suspense and 
climax sometimes go together.
Thus the reader’s attention is held and his interest kept up:
