Rhetorical Device

A rhetorical device is a linguistic tool that employs a particular type of sentence structure, sound, or pattern of meaning in order to evoke a particular reaction from an audience (Somers, 2019)

Here is the example of rhetorical devices (Philpot, 2019), you need to memorize the context:

1. Anaphora: repetition of sentence / words in beginning of the sentence

2. Diacope: repetition of a phrase with intervening phrase

3. Antithesis: two contrast ideas in consecutive sentence

4. Chiasmus: Words and inversion in the same sentence

5. Anadiplosis: last word become first word of next sentence

6. Amplification: repetition in the next sentence with more detail

7. Metaphor: use word with non-literally meaning, for comparison or definitive purpose

8. Alliteration: repetition of word or letter at the beginning of several words
