Language Guide German + Dictionary for iPhone and iPod-Touch (made by ego4u)
successive clauses or sentences start with the same word(s)
The same word or phrase is used to begin successive clauses or sentences. Thus, the reader's / listener's attention is drawn directly to the message of the sentence.
Example:
* Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American. (2)
* If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. (Anne Bradstreet)
* The beginning of wisdom is silence. The second step is listening. (unknown)
* A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive. (Pearl Bailey)
Anaphora is often used in conjunction with parallelism or climax.
