ploce

e.g.: Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy. (Shakespeare, Sonnet 8)/"Make war upon themselves - brother to brother / Blood to blood, self against self." - Richard III, by Shakespeare
anadiplosis (or reduplicatio)
repetition of the last word of one line or clause to begin the next
e.g.: Then hate me when thou wilt-if ever, now-
Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross. (Shakespeare, Sonnet 90)
=Anadiplose in Deutsch: Die Blätter fallen nieder. Fallen nieder wie von weit...
gradatio/climax (figure of repetition)
words or phrases arranged in an ascending order of importance
e.g.: I may, I must, I can, I will, I do
Klimax im Deutschen (vs. Antiklimax): Wie habe ich ihn nicht gebeten, gefleht, beschworen.
epanalepsis (figure of repetition)
repetition of the same word at the beginning and end of a clause
e.g.: "Remember March, the Ides of March remember." (Julius Caesar)
Epanalepse im Deutschen: hier am Übereinstimmung am Anfang, im Innern oder am Ende. darum epanalepsis auf Englisch eher wie Kyklos im Deutschen: Entbehren sollst du, sollst entbehren.
anaphora (figure of repetition)
repetition of the same word at the beginning of successive clauses or verses
e.g.: some glory in their birth, some in their skill,
Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force,
Some in their garments - though new-fangled ill,-
some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse. (Shakespeare, Sonnet 91)
=Anapher: Lies keine Oden, mein Sohn, lies die Kursbücher.
epiphora (figure of repetition)
repetition of a closing word of words at the end of several (usually successive) clauses, sentences, or verses
e.g.: "When I was a child, I spake as a child; I understood as a child; I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
=Epipher: Auch Penthesilea lebt doppelt, begreift sich doppelt.
symploce/complexio (figure of repetition)
repetition of one word or phrase at the beginning, and of another at the end, of successive clauses, sentences, or passages; a combination of anaphora and epiphora
e.g.: Most true that I must fair Fidessa love,
Most true that fair Fidessa cannot love.
Most true that I do feel the pains of love,
Most true that I am captive unto love.
pleonasm (figure of repetition)
needless repetition
e.g.: "I heard it with mine ears and saw it with mine eyes."
