Examples of Anadiplosis

Anadiplosis is a rhetorical or literary device used in literature, poetry, speeches, oratory, and even the Bible. This stylistic device entails using the last word in one phrase to begin the following phrase or sentence. Writers and speakers use this repetition of certain words for emphasis, eloquence, and intensity. Chances are, you will remember a line with a somewhat odd repetition, like "We must gather together, for together we stand." Anadiplosis, when executed well, creates a pleasing and memorable symmetry. The following is a list of anadiplosis examples from well-known literary, political, and pop-culture figures.

The term anadiplosis is a Greek word which means “to reduplicate”. It refers to the repetition of a word or words in successive clauses in such a way that the second clause starts with the same word which marks the end of the previous clause.

Anadiplosis exhibits a typical pattern of repeating a word. For example, the repetition of the word “give” in the sentence “When I give, I give myself.” is termed anadiplosis as it occurs at the end of the first clause and marks the beginning of the following clause.

Similarly, notice how the use of anadiplosis repeats in its typical fashion the word “reliability” to highlight the main point of the sentence “This public school has a record of extraordinary reliability, a reliability that every other school is jealous of in the city.”
