Amplification
Definition:
Amplification refers to a literary practice wherein the writer embellishes the sentence by adding more information to it in order to increase its worth and understandability. When a plain sentence is too abrupt and fails to convey the full implications desired, amplification comes into play when the writer adds more to the structure to give it more meaning.
Example:
Original sentence-
The thesis paper was difficult.
After amplification-
The thesis paper was difficult: it required extensive research, data collection, sample surveys, interviews and a lot of fieldwork.

Sounds more like redundancy than anything else, just sloppy writing.
Amplification: I knocked, making sure not to hit the door too loud and disturb whoever's inside, but only to get the attention of someone nearby.
