'''Alliteration''' is the repetition of identical sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables. The words applied in alliteration can begin with a consonant or a vowel. This literary device occurs in various words across successive sentences, clauses, or phrases. The function of alliteration, like [[rhyme]], might be to emphasize the exquisiteness of language in a given context, or to unite words or concepts through a type of repetition. | '''Alliteration''' is the repetition of identical sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables.
