 Ploce (figure of speech)

Ploce is a rhetorical figure of speech that involves the repetition of a word or phrase for emphasis, often with different meanings or in different contexts. This technique is used to enhance the emotional impact of language and to create a more vivid or memorable expression. For example, in the phrase "The man of the hour, the man who has finally risen to the occasion," the repetition of "man" emphasizes his significance in both instances, even though the contexts differ slightly.
