In the sentence, how do verbs interact?

> 時を表す同じ語を前後に置いて、それを強調する意を表す。

I understand `時を表す同じ語を前後に置いて` as `place identical time representing words at
the front and rear` but I don't really know if this is correct. Is it a
similar to the following `それを強調する意を表す`?

How does it work?

How does this verb interaction work?
So, I'm assuming that this is either from the [weblio
entry](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%A8%E8%A8%80%E3%81%86) or the
[kotobank entry](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%A8%E8%A8%80%E3%81%86-579242)
of という, which are basically identical. You are understanding the first part of
the sentence correctly. However, the second clause after the comma is not a
restatement of the first clause.

> それを強調する意を表す  
>  expresses emphasis of that.

"That", here refers to the time phrase/時を表す語. Because the clause before ends
in the て-form (置いて), you can interpret it as "by the means of" or simply as
the action that comes before it.

> 時を表す同じ語を前後に置いて、それを強調する意を表す。  
>  By placing a time phrase before and after (という), you are able to emphasize
> it.

If you are not familiar with using て conjunctively, this [imabi
article](https://www.imabi.net/theparticleteiii.htm) does a pretty good job
explaining it.
