Repetitious Words

Description:

Repetitious words refer to the use of repetitive phrases or expressions in speech or writing. These words are often repeated intentionally to emphasize a point, create rhythm, or simply for stylistic effect. Repetition can enhance the impact of a message, reinforce a concept, or make a piece of content more memorable. However, excessive use of repetitious words can make the writing or speech monotonous and lose its impact.

Examples of Repetitious Words:

1. "I love love love this movie!"
2. "She always, always manages to be late."
3. "He is a leader, a true leader."
