Tautophrase is a rhetorical device in which a statement repeats the same idea using different words. It emphasizes a point by restating it, often for clarity or rhetorical effect.
✅ Definition:
The repetition of the same idea in different words within a sentence or passage.
✅ Example:
- “What is done is done.”
- “It is what it is.”
Another example:
- “You win some, you lose some.”
In each case, the statement conveys a single idea, but the repetition in different words reinforces it.
