Rhythm & Repetition DefinitionRhythm and repetition -established through sequences of words or recurring sound patterns -constitute the grid from which affective and imaginative world-building in language can emerge.Such sequences are the literary equivalents of the building blocks of an urban environment.They are the aesthetic material of prose and poetry, combing audio-visual form (more recognizable in sound than in sight) with fragments of meaning and purpose, as well as with symbolic function.
