This research tackles the stylistic features of the novel "Spiritual Brother" written by the French writer "David Diop". The novel has extensively employed the repetition as an essential writing technique in the novel. The connotations and interpretations require highlighting and recognizing the author's constructing of different types of the repetition as well as figuring out the author's linguistic style to express the main thoughts associated with his intended meanings.
The research presents a general description to the concept of "repetition"; highlights the structures of repetition in the narration of the novel with their semantic shadowing. The repetition of some linguistic structures is ascribed either to the author's influence of other authors or to poetic and cultural factors. In other words, this research conceptualizes understanding and predicting of repetition in some parts in the novel as a necessity to link some details narrated in the novel together. Finally, this research also presents a stylistic indexing of certain types mentioned and employed in the novel. However, these recurrent types have been highlighted and defined according to the stylistcians' perspectives.
Other types of repetition have been put in a table without explanation; this is due to their irrelevance to the plot of the novel if compared to the recurrent employed and studied types - which are the data of the study analysis.
