| Mesodiplosis | comment |
Mesodiplosis, sister to Anadiplosis, is a word formed of three parts: μÎσος (Mesos), meaning "middle" δίπλω (dÃplÅ�), meaning "a doubling" σις (-sis), suffix to turn verbs to nouns. The doubling of middles, in this case, the middles of phrases. It is the opposite of Symploce, where consecutive phrases share beginnings and ends. This is used to highlight something about the consecutive phrases, with multiple possible somethings available: When the shared words are nearly inconsequential ones like "and" or "of", then it just serves to make the parallelism more noticeable, but if the shared words are more consequential like nouns or multi-word phrases, then the parallelism is less likely to just be for being artistic with words but to express some message about a difference or similarity between the phrases that share words. English's usual word order is SVO (Subject-Verb-Object), which means that the simplest of these examples will share their verbs, and those aren't usually the most important part of a set of multiple sentences if they're the verb, especially because it can be much more implied, given how people do things within limits, so it's not always necessary to be precise on what's being done. For example: "Alice worked on the apple, Bob worked on the stone", the context that the first item is food and the second is non-edible implies that the two kinds of "work" can't be the same. You don't typically eat stones, after all. And "worked on" isn't doing much other than anchoring the statements in the past or present. It's more common in languages that have a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) structure—such as Ancient Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, and Japanese— because the object is frequently the most important part of the sentence and stays in place when describing multiple interactions with the same object. Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue... is a subtrope. I Don't Like You And You Don't Like Me examples have a chance to overlap with this if the Stock Phrase is split into multiple phrases with a comma or something. Contrast Symploce. Antimetaboles, consecutive phrases with their word order flipped, such as "Tous pour un, un pour tous" of The Three Musketeers, may also be anadiplosises, as well as mesodiplosises. |

"Goblin Market": The fifth and sixth lines start the product listing for the titular market, with "and" being the middle of those lines, probably to lengthen the lines beyond the unusually short 2 word lines for a poem. Noting how some sold fruits are good to the senses, with "and" as a divider, even as phrases are not separated by a comma. |
