What is "diacope"?
Diacope is a literary device where a word or phrase is repeated with only a few words in between. It is used to emphasize a point, create rhythm, or add emotional intensity to the language. For example, in the phrase "I will not give up, I will not give in", the repetition of "I will not give" emphasizes the speaker's determination. Diacope helps draw attention to the repeated words, making them stand out more in the sentence.
