6. 123. OTHER FIGURES.
There are several other figures which may be named here: Syllepsis, paronomasia, annominatio, and antanaclasis. These are all of the nature of tropes, and by allowing some particular term to be taken in two senses-literal or metaphorical-they give rise to what is called a "play on words." They all have the same general characteristics, and will be considered farther on. (De Mille)

6. 451. THE PUN.
2. The ridiculous use of the play upon words is more familiar.

8. Repetition of the same Word in the same Sentence, with Different Meanings... [see Etymology] Hence, a "breaking up against." This name is given to this figure; because when a word has been used once in its plain and natural sense, it is used again in the same sentence in another sense which breaks up against it. It is the use of the same word in the same sentence in two different senses. It is essential to this figure that the two words must be the same spelling. When they are similar in spelling but alike in sound, the figure is known by another name, Paranomasia. (Bullinger, 303)

9. Antanaclasis, where a word is used twice (or more) in two (or more) of its senses. (Vickers 492)
