anacoluthon
A discontinuity in the sense or grammatical structure of a sentence. It may involve a simple switching from one thought to another, or it may be the result of faulty syntax. Examples:
If it rains – but I don't think it will.
When winter comes, and it grows cold, and the nights are long, and the world seems gloomy, but we should try to stay cheerful.
