Synonymic repetition can be unnecessary or tautological repetition of idea. Ex.: I’ve got a house that is like a hotel. I mean a big house with many servants.
Syntactical tautology (or grammatical prolepsis) is the repetition of the noun-subject in the form of personal pronoun, i.e. syntactical tautology, based on the use of a second subject that is called tautological subject. . Ex.: “Miss Tillie Webster, she slept forty days and nights without waking up.” (O’Henry)
The subject is repeated in the form of a noun at the end of the sentence after a comma. It helps to put a finishing touch to the sentence or throw a new light on it. Ex.: She was not a little pleasing, this woman, he decided.
Syntactical tautology is especially typical of uncultivated speech: Ex.: “Bolivar, he’s plenty tired, and he can’t carry double.” (O’Henry)
So, when introduced in the form of a noun or a proper name, the second subject is used in the form of a pronoun immediately following it (or vise verse). This type of tautological subject is often used in poetry:
Ex.: And this maiden she leaved with no other thought,
Than to love and be loved by me.
Ex.: Helen Adair she loved me well
Against her father’s and mother’s will.
Syntactical tautology is acceptable in oratory because it helps the audience to grasp the meaning of the utterance.
Climax or gradation - is based on the arrangement of words in a sentence or sentences in a paragraph in ascending order of importance with gradual increase in logical significance or emotional tension.
Ex.: God knows I loved her. For eight years I worshipped the ground she trod on.
She was intelligent and well read. She was tender, unselfish and disinterested. In fact, she was too good to be true.
