False. Anaphora is a rhetorical device that involves the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences to create emphasis or to evoke strong feelings. While it can be used to strengthen an argument or point of view, it is not specifically the "art of using language to persuade." The art of persuasion in language generally refers to rhetoric as a whole, which encompasses various techniques, including but not limited to anaphora.
