idea on what is Repetition?” in a phrase or in a stanza.”

“Correct! Repetition is a literary device or “London Bridge, falling down, my fair

figurative language that repeats the same lady, build it up with iron and steel, and
words or phrases a few times to make an iron and steel.
idea clear. In the song London Bridge,
what are the words or phrases that are
being repeated?”

“Right! So here are the kinds of
Repetition, Ms. Lamesa please read.”
“The following are the different types of
repetition: anadiplosis, anaphora,
antistasis, diacope, epanalepsis,
epimone, epiphora, gradatio, negative-
positive restatement, polyptoton, and
symploce.

“Thank you, please sit down. To better

understand those, let us define them.”

1. Anadiplosis – repetition of the last

 word in a line or clause.
2. Anaphora – repetition of words at
the start of clauses or verses.
3. Antistasis – repetition of word or
phrases in opposite sense.
4. Diacope – repetition of words
broken by some other words.
5. Epanalepsis – repetition of same
words at the end and start of a
sentence.
6. Epimone – repetition of a phrase
(usually a question) to stress a
point.
7. Epiphora – repetition of the same
word at the end of each clause.
8. Gradatio – a construction in poetry
where the last word of one clause
becomes the first of the next and
so on.
9. Negative-Positive Restatement –
repetition of an idea first in
negative terms and then in
positive terms.
10. Polyptoton – repetition of words
of the same root with different
endings.
11. Symploce – a combination of
anaphora and epiphora in which
repetition is both at the end and at
the beginning.
“Here are some examples:
Ms. Servidor, please read Example 1” “I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody too?
Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell!
They’d banish us you know.”

“Thank you, is there a word that is “yes, ma’am.”

repeated?”

“Who can tell me the repeated word?” “Nobody.”

“That’s right! The word “nobody” is “diacope”

repeated to put emphasis on the
persona’s characteristic. What kind of
repetition do you think is used in that
poem?”

“Correct! The repeated words are broken “Because I do not hope to turn again
by some other words. Mr. Velayo, kindly Because I do not hope
read the second example.” Because I do not hope to turn…”

“Who can tell me the repeated words?” “Because I do not hope.”

“And what kind of repetition do you think “Anaphora”

is used in that example?”

“Right again, class always remember that “Yes ma’am.”

in order to identify what kind of repetition
is being used, you should find first the
repeated words and then analyze its
placement. Is that clear?”

4. Application/Evaluation

“Now please proceed to your groupings in (Students do as told.)

cleaners and find a place for your group
inside, silently.”

“Try to think of a song or poem you have

come across with and then perform it in

that piece. You will be graded according
