Epanalepsis is a rhetorical device in which the same word or phrase is repeated at both the beginning and the end of a sentence or clause. This repetition emphasizes the key word or phrase and can create a sense of symmetry or closure. For example, in the sentence "The king is dead, long live the king", the phrase "the king" is repeated at both the beginning and end, highlighting the continuity of the monarchy despite the change in rulers. Epanalepsis can be used to reinforce a central theme or idea in both speech and writing.
