An allusion is a figure of speech that makes a reference to, or representation of, a place, event, literary work, myth, or work

of art, either directly or by implication.

Anadiplosis is the repetition of the last word of a preceding clause. The word is used at the end of a sentence and then used again at the beginning of the next sentence.

The reverse process is also sometimes called antonomasia. "The Fab Four" for The Beatles, "The Iron Lady" for Margaret Thatcher epiphora (and occasionally as antistrophe), is a figure of speech and the counterpart of anaphora.

It is an extremely emphatic device because of the emphasis placed on the last word in a phrase or sentence. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child.

This is such a common literary device that it is almost never even noted as a figure of speech.

We charge him with having broken his coronation-oath - and we are told that he kept his marriagevow! We accuse him of having given up his people to the merciless inflictions of the most hard-hearted of prelates - and the defense is that he took his little son on his knee and kissed him. We censure him for having violated the Petition of Right - and we are informed that he was accustomed to hear prayers at six o'clock in the morning." (Macaulay)
