Repetition & Refrain
Conduplicatio
Taking a key word from one sentence and placing it prominently in the next. Unlike a pronoun, the full repetition insists on the word itself and carries the idea forward for another look.
"This afternoon, this Easter afternoon, I saw a friend die. A friend I had known…"
Don't confuse it with Anadiplosis. Anadiplosis requires the repeat at the exact seam (last word → first word); conduplicatio just needs the key word to recur early in the next unit.
