A ploce is a figure of speech in which a word is separated or repeated with a delay in order to emphasize a statement. Similar to epizeuxis which denotes an immediate repetition, ploce deliberately adds an intervening word between repetitions for a distinct rhetorical effect.

Examples

* "I am that I am." - Exodus 3:14
* "Make war upon themselves - brother to brother / Blood to blood, self against self."
