This could refer to several things:

1) Anaphora - anaphora is the literary device in which the same word or phrase is used to introduce several successive clauses, often leading to a buildup of dramatic effect.

2) Polysyndeton - this device refers to the superfluous use of conjunctions to make a point, such as emphasis on a list's length. This usually involves repetition of the word "and".

3) Pleonasm - This device is the use of more words than necessary, or redundancy, to draw attention to a particular idea, and can often include repetition of the same word or of a word and its synonyms.
