Repetition of a word or phrase with one or a few intervening words
Diacope (/daɪˈækəpi/dy-AK-ə-pee) is a rhetorical term meaning repetition of a word or phrase that is broken up by a single intervening word, or a small number of intervening words.[1][2] It derives from a Greek word diakopḗ,[3][4] which means "cut in two".[5][6] Diacopae (or diacopes) is used in writing to emphasize or describe something. Like other forms of repetition, diacope helps express strong emotions, or help give weight to the repeated word.[7]
