Anabasis
Techniques > Use of language > Figures of speech > Anabasis Method | Example | Discussion | See also
DescriptionAnabasis is stepwise increasing of sense or emphasis in each phrase or sentence. ExampleWe must respond. We must fight! We must overcome this evil enemy!! Are you there? I can hear you! There -- I see you!! Good, better, best! DiscussionAnabasis uses the recency principle, where we remember best that which is said last or most recently. Spoken as a rising crescendo, it can also give power to the conclusion of a paragraph or speech. Anabasis can be used to show growing confidence, perhaps as a speaker is encouraged by positive responses to earlier but weaker assertions. Anabasis is the opposite of catabasis, which is a stepwise decreasing of emphasis. Anabasis is Greek for 'ascent' or 'going up'.
