Anadiplosis
Definition
A rhetorical and syntactic figure of speech consisting of the repetition of the final word or group of words from a sentence or verse line at the beginning of the immediately following sentence or verse line. This structural doubling device, frequently used in lyric poetry (to create rhythm, musicality, and emotional amplification) and oratorical art (to emphasize a fundamental idea), ensures a tight, progressive connection between discourse sequences.
