Anaphora and epistrophe are examples of what?

Anaphora and epistrophe are examples of rhetorical devices.

More specifically, they are examples of repetition:

* Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences.

* Epistrophe is the repetition of a word or phrase at the end of successive clauses or sentences.

Both anaphora and epistrophe are used to create emphasis, rhythm, and a sense of unity in writing and speech.
