ALLITERATION -is the repetition of the same consonant sounds at the beginning of words that
are in close proximity to each other. This repetition of sounds brings attention to the lines in
which it is used, and creates more aural rhythm. In poems, alliteration can also refer to repeated
consonant sound in the stressed syllables of a line.
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.
ASSONANCE -is the repetition of a vowel sound or diphthong in non-rhyming words. To qualify
as assonance, the words must be close enough for the repetition of the sound to be noticeable.
Assonance is a common literary technique used in poetry and prose, and is widely found in
English verse.
RHYME -is a popular literary device in which the repetition of the same or similar sounds occurs
in two or more words, usually at the end of lines in poems or songs. In a rhyme in English, the
vowel sounds in the stressed syllables are matching, while the preceding consonant sound does
not match. The consonants after the stressed syllables must match as well. For example, the
words “gaining” and “straining” are rhyming words in English because they start with different
consonant sounds, but the first stressed vowel is identical, as is the rest of the word
REPETITION -consists of repeating a word, phrase, or sentence, and is common in both poetry
and prose. It is a rhetorical technique to add emphasis, unity, and/or power. Due to this
definition of repetition, it is a common technique for orators to use. There have been examples
of repetition throughout the course of human history, as it is a good way to help remember a
story, particular lines of a story, or a story in song form. Thus, repetition has been an essential
part of oral storytelling and can be found in legends, folk tales, and religious texts.
ANAPHORA -is a literary and rhetorical device in which a word or group of words is repeated at
the beginning of two or more successive clauses or sentences. This technique adds emphasis
and unity to the clauses.
