Kyklos
The Kyklos (ancient Greek κύκλος: "ring, circle", Latin redditio : "return / return" or inclusio : "inclusion / enclosure") is a rhetorical figure from the group of repetitive figures . Kyklos is the framing of a sentence , verse or other syntactic or semantic unit by repeating the same word or part of a sentence . This can be illustrated by the following scheme:
- x ... ... ... x
The figures anaphor , epipher and anadiplose are closely related to the Cyclos ; see. also chiasmus .
Examples
- “ You should do without ! you shall do without ! "( Goethe , Faust I , V. 1549)
- " Cras amet , qui numquam amavit, quique amavit, cras amet ." ( Pervigilium Veneris , roughly German: tomorrow love, who has never loved, who has already loved, love tomorrow. )
- “ Ignorant, vile fellow! didn't you tell me enough that I should leave the room? But can't you imagine that those who are allowed to be in the cabinet will also have permission to be in the room? Ignorant, vile fellow! "( Lessing , The Young Scholar , Act 3, Appearance 14)
