Anaphora

Anaphora is a noun that refers to the repetition of a word or phrase. Coming from Greek, anaphora is a form of repetition used as a rhetorical device. Here’s an example of anaphora in use: Our old football coach used a lot of anaphora in his speeches. He’d say things like: We will win because we are strong. We will win because we are smart. And we will win because we are resourceful. As much as we all loved hearing the word ‘win’ all those times, we knew he was wrong because we hardly ever won.
