alliteration

The repetition of consonants at the beginning of two or more words immediately succeeding each other, or at short intervals.

Examples of alliteration in the following topics:

  • Alliteration

    • Alliteration is a stylistic device whereby a series of words begin with the same consonant sound, which can help your audience's listening.
    • When you use the same repetitive sound at the beginning of a series of words or phrases, you are using alliteration.
    • Alliteration adds a textural complexity to your speech that makes your words more engaging.
    • Alliteration is a technique often found in poetry, so take the time to get creative with the words and phrasing of your speech.
    • The game of Tic Tac Toe is a perfect example of alliteration, where each word of the game's name begins with the letter T.
  • Philosophy and Art of the Han Dynasty

    • To be sure, alliterations are rarely perfect, and reducing any broad-ranging topic into categories usually ends up neglecting something that others see as valuable; however, the 7-P model has proven to be helpful both in and out of the classroom so it is used here as a framework.
