1 Zeugma and Repetition Ryan Ramlal Perry Chen

2 Zeugma A Z Zeugma is a figure of speech describing the joining of two or more parts of a sentence with a single common verb or noun. A Zeugma employs both ellipsis, the omission of words which are easily understood, and parallelism, the balance of several words or phrases. The result is a series of similar phrases joined or yoked together by a common and implied noun or verb. The Zeugma is categorized according to the location and part of speech of the governing word. (source: wikipedia.org)

3 Examples of Zeugma Now z Zeugma s are far more common and familiar to you despite the odd word. Some examples of this would be: On his recent fishing expedition, he caught ten trout and a cold. Others from more classic literature and older times would be would be: "If we don't hang together, we shall hang separately!" (Ben Franklin). "She looked at the object with suspicion and a magnifying glass." (Charles Dickens) "... losing her heart or her necklace at the ball." (Alexander Pope)

4 Conclusion Now Zeugma may seem very familiar to other literary elements known as ellipses and parallelism, but differ from the two in that a Zeugma contains both of the two elements.

5 Repetition Repetition is just the simple Repetition of a word, within a sentence or a poetical line, with no particular placement of the words, this is to make emphasis.

6 Examples of Repetition Too much horrified to speak, They can only shriek, shriek, Out of tune, In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire, In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire, Leaping higher, higher, higher, With a desperate desire, And a resolute endeavor, Now - now to sit or never, By the side of the pale-faced moon. Oh, the bells, bells, bells! What a tale their terror tells -Edgar Allan Poe

7 Conclusion Anaphora and epiphora are two types of Repetition. Repetition is used to emphasis an idea
