Alliteration
🔹 Alliteration is derived from Latin’s “Latira”. It means “letters of alphabet”. It is a stylistic device in which a number of words, having the same first consonant sound, occur close together in a series.
🔹 it is usually applied only to consonants and when the recurrent sound occurs in a conspicuous position at the beginning either of a word or of a stressed syllable within a word.
🔹 it was the principal organizing force in Old English poetry.
🔹 it was also used in many Middle English poems such as Langland's Piers Plowman
Consonance
🔹 it is the repetition of a sequence of two or more consonants, but with a change in the intervening vowel such as ...... Live-love, lean-alone, pitter-patter.
🔹 Consonance is a literary device in which a consonant sound is repeated in words that are in close proximity. The repeated sound can appear anywhere in the words, unlike in alliteration where the repeated consonant sound must occur in the stressed part of the word.
🔹 Consonance is also a similar concept to assonance, which refers to the repetition of vowel sounds in quick succession.
Sibilance
🔹Sibilance is a special case of consonance because it involves the repetition of consonant sounds, but only of sibilant consonants, i.e., “s,” “sh,” and “z.” One common example of sibilance is the following tongue twister: She sells seashells by the seashore.
Assonance
🔹 It is also known as Vocalic rhyme
🔹 eg. Recurrent long I in the opening lines if Keats "Ode on a Grecian Urn" -
Thou still unravished bride of quietness,
Thou foster child of silence and slow time.
