Antanaclasis is a rhetorical device that involves the repetition of a word or phrase in a sentence, but with a different meaning each time it occurs. This technique is often used to create a play on words or to emphasize a particular point. By using the same word in different contexts, the speaker or writer can convey multiple layers of meaning or add a humorous or ironic twist to their message.
