<P> In rhetoric, an anaphora (Greek: ἀναφορά, "carrying back") is a rhetorical device that consists of repeating a sequence of words at the beginnings of neighboring clauses, thereby lending them emphasis . In contrast, an epistrophe (or epiphora) is repeating words at the clauses' ends . The combination of anaphora and epistrophe results in symploce . </P> <P> Other than the function of emphasizing ideas, the use of anaphora as a rhetorical device adds rhythm to a word as well as making it more pleasurable to read and easier to remember . Anaphora serves the purpose of delivering an artistic effect to a passage . It is also used to appeal to the emotions of the audience in order to persuade, inspire, motivate and encourage them . In Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech, he uses anaphora by repeating "I have a dream" eight times throughout the speech . Dr. MLK Jr.'s use of repetition calls to the audience and persuades them to be the change . </P> <Dl> <Dd> The voice of the Lord is over the waters; <Dl> <Dd> the God of glory thunders, </Dd> <Dd> the Lord, over many waters . </Dd> </Dl> </Dd> <Dd> The voice of the Lord is powerful; <Dl> <Dd> the voice of the Lord is full of majesty . </Dd> </Dl> </Dd> </Dl>
