Or the same
word may be repeated with greater meaning, as
quando homo, hostis homno.1 But although I have used
these examples to illustrate something quite different,
one of them involves both emphasis and reiteration.
The opposite of parononasia occurs when one word is
proved to be false by repetition; for instance, “This
law did not seem to be a law to private individuals.”2
Akin to this is that syled ἀντανάκλασις,
Quintilian. With An English Translation. Harold Edgeworth Butler. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1922.
