anastrophe \uh-NASS-truh-fee\ - inversion of the usual syntactical order of words for rhetorical effect

Knew not, did I, the word for it.anacoluthon \ˌa-nə-kə-ˈlü-ˌthän\ - syntactical inconsistency or incoherence within a sentence; especially : a shift in an unfinished sentence from one syntactic construction to another (as in “you really ought—well, do it your own way”)
I also wasn't familiar - oh, you should probably just follow the link for the lowdown on this one. Watch out for its preferred plural.
