I am sure there are some very complicated answers and, no doubt, different definitions, but isn't anacolouthon being deliberately ungrammatical as: "I checking my panic, I pretending knowledge." And anastrophe altering the normal order of (usually) two words: "I am checking my panic, I am knowledge pretending" Apologies for not being able to give any Virgilian examples.
