  2. Repetition • The reuse of the same words, or nearly identical terms, repeatedly for emphasis, in order to emphasize their importance, and convince the audience of their salience. 

  3. Restatement • Rephrasing an idea in different words, in order to more fully explain the concept, and increase its importance to listeners.
