Definition: Anaphoric in English means "like" or "appearing" but without a direct comparison. In other words, it's an expression that gives rise to new meaning by referencing something else directly. Definition: - Anaphora occurs when a word is used metaphorically but does not come directly from the original text. The use of these phrases allows for the addition of imagery and context. Example in literature: "In the vastness of space, we are as small as ants, yet like giants." This phrasing creates an allegorical connection to the idea that size doesn't determine strength or power; it's a metaphor for our insignificance compared to God.
