Repetition, we are told, is an evil in writing. It seems that we are told this practically from the time we begin to write. Yet the skillful writer instinctively recognizes that carefully repeating certain key words and phrases can help tie his ideas together. For example, the mathematician Norbert Wiener begins his discussion of Brownian motion in this way: “To understand the Brownian motion, let us imagine a push-ball in a field in which a crowd is milling around. Various people in the crowd will run into the push-ball and will move it about. Some will push in one direction and some in another.” To use repletion creatively, you repeat certain words of phrases in order to keep the reader’s mind firmly on the subject. 【題組】36.
