- Anachrony — A structural discordance between the chronological order of events in a story and their textual arrangement order within the narrative discourse. Conceptualized in modern narratology by Gérard Genette, this aesthetic device includes fundamental techniques such as analepsis (flashback) and prolepsis (anticipation), being used to break the linearity of time and generate complex psychological or dramatic effects.
- Anadiplosis — A rhetorical and syntactic figure of speech consisting of the repetition of the final word or group of words from a sentence or verse line at the beginning of the immediately following sentence or verse line. This structural doubling device, frequently used in lyric poetry (to create rhythm, musicality, and emotional amplification) and oratorical art (to emphasize a fundamental idea), ensures a tight, progressive connection between discourse sequences.
- Analepsis — An aesthetic device and syntactic figure of speech in modern narratology consisting of interrupting the chronological thread of a story to insert events, memories, or details that took place prior to the present moment of the action; commonly known in cinematography as a flashback. Structurally conceptualized by Gérard Genette as a dominant form of narrative anachrony, this mechanism breaks temporal linearity to illuminate characters' pasts and provide essential psychological keys of interpretation.
