Hypernym
- ACCUMULATIOREPETITIO of the same basic semantic content in a series of semantically distinct but near-synonymous expressions. Synonym compounds in Chinese are a simple form of this, but the rhetorical accumulation of basically undistinguished synonyms which in the West has notoriously peaked in Rabelais, has never caught on in Chinese prose as far as I know. An egregious case of this in Zhuangzi 2 has not found many early imitators, it seems, but the mode has come to flourish in 賦 rhyme prose.
