polysyndeton

This use of polysyndeton may serve to convey immediacy.

This was often used in combination with asyndeton and polysyndeton, in which conjunctions are either removed entirely or repeated in close succession.

Asyndeton may be contrasted with syndeton (syndetic coordination) and polysyndeton, which describe the use of one or multiple coordinating conjunctions, respectively.

Parallelism, repetition, metaphors, similes, exaggeration, comparisons, epithets, anaphora and polysyndeton brings roundness and musicality.

Another common use of polysyndeton is to create a sense of being overwhelmed, or in fact directly overwhelm the audience by using conjunctions, rather than commas, leaving little room for a reader to breathe.

Nunberg's book, mainly a compilation of his commentaries on National Public Radio's "Fresh Air," refreshingly deals with what is called in rhetoric polysyndeton, a word based on the Greek for "using many connectives," like "here and there and everywhere."

Vickers also attempts to show that Shakespeare is much more adapt at employing rhetorical devices than Peele; and gives numerous examples throughout the play of the use of antimetabole, anadiplosis, epanalepsis, epizeuxis, articulus, epanorthosis, epistrophe, aposiopesis, anaphora, polyptoton, synoeciosis, polysyndeton and asteismus.
