sentences (clauses) is repeated - a..., a..., a...
e.g.
Mother was a cook, mother was a teacher, mother was a referee, mother was a mother.
epiphora: the end of successive sentences (clauses) is repeated -...a, ...a, ...a.
e.g. Kate was there, Mick was there, Mrs Harley was there – and none of them could explain what they saw.

e.g. Evil breeds evil.
Слайд 30
catch repetition (anadiplosis). the end of one clause
(sentence) is repeated in the beginning of the following
one -...a, a....

Слайд 39
Antithesis
the two parts of an antithesis must be
semantically opposite to each other
e.g. "If we don't know

e.g. Don't use big words. They mean so little.
Слайд 40
Climax
