Conduplicatio
Pattern
...X. X... — key word carried forward for emphasis
Definition
Repetition of a key word or phrase from a preceding clause at the beginning of the next, for emphasis.
Examples
Example 1
The land of my fathers. My fathers can have it.
Dylan Thomas, on Wales
"My fathers" from the first clause is picked up in the second to comic, deflating effect
Example 2
We will rebuild this city. Rebuild it with the hands of its own people.
"Rebuild" is carried forward from the first sentence to open the second, turning declaration into plan
Example 3
Grief filled the room. Grief was in every glance, every silence, every careful word.
The key word "grief" from the first clause is repeated to expand on its pervasiveness
AI Detection Note
AI occasionally produces conduplicatio but tends to vary vocabulary between sentences rather than deliberately carrying a key term forward for emphasis.
