Hi Gloria,
If you want immediate answers, you'll find some good sources on rhetorical terms on the Internet. Just search for "rhetorical devices" or "rhetorical terms," and look for definitions with sample quotations. It's quite possible that Classical rhetoric will give you the tools for defining the precise qualities of the phemenona in the discourse you're studying. Probably more than one rhetorical device is at work.
Other obvious sources are the _Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics_ and the _Encyclopedia of Rhetoric and Composition_.
Cheers,
Linda
