This paper examines the concept of repetition, types of repetition, its connections to rhetoric and the roles it plays in the text. It also deals with translation issues and presents a comparative analysis of 13 translations of the short story ‘The Nightingale and the Rose’, by Oscar Wilde, whose results support the idea that translators are clearly predisposed to avoid a significant part of the repetitions of the original, despite the enormous stylistic value they may have.Downloads
