alliteration

Alliteration is a literary device where consecutive words begin with the same sound or letter. It creates a rhythmic and memorable effect in speech or writing. For example, in the phrase "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers," the repeating "P" sound is alliteration. Writers often use it to draw attention, emphasize a phrase, or enhance musicality. Alliteration is common in poetry, advertising slogans, and tongue twisters, helping to make language more engaging and easier to remember. It’s a stylistic technique that adds aesthetic appeal and cohesiveness to a piece of language.
