Diacope (:daɪˈækəʊpiː) is a rhetorical term meaning repetition of a word or phrase with one or two intervening words. It derives from a Greek word meaning "cut in two".〔("Diacope," by Richard Nordquist. ) Accessed 24 September 2012.〕 ==Examples== * "Put out the light, and then put out the light."–Shakespeare, ''Othello'', Act V, scene 2. * "A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!—''Richard III'' * "Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!— Talbot Rothwell, ''Carry on Cleo'' * "They will laugh, indeed they will laugh, at his parchment and his wax."—Edmund Burke, "A Letter to a Noble Lord," 1796 * "I knew it. Born in a hotel room—and goddamn it—died in a hotel room."—last words of playwright Eugene O'Neill * "Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did."—Dr William Butler (1535-1618), on strawberries, quoted by Izaak Walton in ''The Compleat Angler''.〔(This Day in Quotes, October 10 ). Accessed 24 September 2012.〕 * Leo Marks's poem "The Life That I Have", memorably used in the film ''Odette'', is an extended example of diacope: : The life that I have : Is all that I have : And the life that I have : Is yours. : The love that I have : Of the life that I have : Is yours and yours and yours. : A sleep I shall have : A rest I shall have : Yet death will be but a pause. : For the peace of my years : In the long green grass : Will be yours and yours and yours. The first line in the poem not to deploy diacope is the one about death being "a pause." * "In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these."—Paul Harvey. This is also an example of an epanalepsis. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diacope」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
