Anaphora is the deliberate repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences for rhetorical effect. It emphasizes key ideas and creates a memorable impact on readers.
Epistrophe: Epistrophe is similar to anaphora but involves repeating a word or phrase at the end rather than at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences.
Parallelism: Parallelism refers to using similar grammatical structures or patterns in multiple parts of a sentence or across different sentences. It enhances clarity, balance, and rhythm in writing.
Chiasmus: Chiasmus involves reversing grammatical structures or ideas in parallel phrases for emphasis. It adds symmetry and memorability to writing.
