What is the definition of anaphora?

A form of understatement that denies the opposite of the idea in mind. This intensifies expressions or retains the effect of understatement.

Deliberately expressing an idea as less important than it actually is. This is for ironic emphasis, politeness, or emphasis in an extreme situation.

A pause from the discussion to directly address someone, no matter the state of the person to build emotion or information.

The repetition of the same word/words at the beginnings of successive phases, clauses, or sentences— often using climax and parallelism.
