- alliteration
Repetition of the same sound at the beginning of two or more stressed
syllables.
- paroemion
Alliteration taken to an extreme—every word in a sentence begins
with the same consonant.
- assonance
Repetition of similar vowel sounds, preceded and followed by different
consonants, in the stressed syllables of adjacent words.
- paromoiosis
Parallelism of sound between the words of adjacent clauses whose lengths
are equal or approximate to one another.
- consonance
The repetition of consonants in words stressed in the same place (but
whose vowels differ). Also, a kind of inverted alliteration, in which
final consonants, rather than initial or medial ones, repeat in nearby
words.
- onomatopoeia
Using language whose sound imitates that which it names.
