Polysyndeton

Polysyndeton (from Ancient Greek πολύ poly 'many' and συνδετόν syndeton 'bound together with') is the deliberate insertion of conjunctions into a sentence in order to slow the rhythm of the prose so as to produce an impressively solemn note.

In grammar, a polysyndetic coordination is a coordination in which all conjuncts are linked by coordinating conjunctions (usually and, but, or, nor in English).
