20 Examples of Anaphora

Anaphora

Anaphora is an element of speech that is used in reference to something that has already been said. For example: The director said that the call. The pronoun "la" is referring to something that has already been said ("the director").

It is one of the procedures of textual cohesion, that is, the forms we choose so that a discourse can be perceived as a unit and repetitions are avoided.

A similar procedure to the anaphora but with the opposite sense is the cataphor, which is the use of a term to replace another that has not yet been used. For example: Obeyyou to your father.

Anaphoras and cataphoras can be pronouns, adverbs or sets of words, and are used both in the written language as in oral.

Anaphoras and cataphoras can function as rhetorical figures or as cohesive grammatical devices.

Anaphora as a grammatical resource

As a grammatical resource, anaphoric terms are those elements that have the function of avoiding the permanent repetition of words.

In both oral and written communication, reference is usually made to elements that have already been named before, and it would be very overwhelming for the speaker to have to repeat them over and over again, and for the listener, listen.

For example: When you see your brother sayyou What do I want to talk about?you. The pronoun "him" refers to "your brother" and is used to avoid repetition. The same sentence but without the use of the anaphora would be: When you see your brother tell your brother that I want to talk to your brother.

Anaphora as a figure of speech

As a figure of speech, he is associated to the repetition of words and is a resource designed to increase the expressive power of a message. It is an aesthetic element that seeks to generate a sensation of rhythm and sound.

There is a tendency to use the copulative conjunction "And" to create a climate of persistence in poetry. If 'ran and ran' is indicated, it is understood that someone ran for a long time, which perhaps caused them fatigue and anguish.

Many songs and poems feature anaphoras that become very popular. For example: Today I cut a flower and it rained and rained.
