Polysyndeton as a stylistic figure
Polysyndeton, or mnogosoyuzie (from the Greek poly - many, syndeton-connected) - a term whose most general meaning is defined as "the principle of text construction, in which subsequent narrative units (or parts of them) are joined to the previous ones by the same (usually compositional) union" (Kruchinina I. N. Mnogosoyuzie // Linguistic Encyclopedia, Moscow, 1990, p. 302). At the same time, it is noted that "in an artistically organized text, M[nogosoyuzie] is simultaneously a stylistic device with a wide range of expressive and semantic functions" (Ibid.).

For example (redundant chains of conjunctions are highlighted in these and subsequent illustrations): "The property of these night lights is to approach, overcoming the darkness, and sparkle, and promise, and beckon with their proximity" (V. Korolenko). Cf.: The property of these night lights is to approach, overcoming the darkness, sparkle, promise, and beckon with their proximity; " A lot, for a long time, loudly, sharply - someone it goes, and the warmer it is to sleep, the closer the comfort. And all the air isn't fully asleep yet. And the blankets didn't wake up. And the dreams didn't fold their wings. The room is still asleep" (S. Gorny). Cf.: And all the air has not yet finished sleeping. The blankets d ... Read more
