What is "alliteration"?
Alliteration is a literary device where the same consonant sound is repeated at the beginning of stressed syllables in closely positioned words. It often creates rhythm, emphasis, or a musical effect in writing. For example, in the phrase "whispering winds wove through the willows," the repeated "w" sound mimics the quiet, calming effect of a gentle breeze moving through trees, enhancing the overall atmosphere of tranquility in the scene. This technique is used to enhance the texture of language, making phrases more engaging and memorable.
Example
The poet employed alliteration to create a melodic effect in the verse.
Básník použil aliteraci, aby vytvořil melodický efekt ve verši.
Alliteration adds a rhythmic quality to speeches and poetry.
