Repetition is the simple repeating of a word, within a short space of words (including in a
poem), with no particular placement of the words to secure emphasis. It is a multilinguistic
written or spoken device, frequently used in English and several other languages, and so
rarely termed a figure of speech.
Its forms, many of which are listed below, have varying resonances to listing (forms of
enumeration, such as "Firstly, Secondly, Thirdly and lastly..."), as a matter of trite logic often
similar in effect.
