onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech where a word imitates the natural sound associated with the object or action it describes. For example, words like "buzz," "clang," or "meow" mimic the sounds they represent, making descriptions more vivid. This linguistic device enhances storytelling by engaging the reader’s auditory imagination, creating a more immersive experience. Onomatopoeia is common in everyday language, poetry, and comics, serving as a bridge between language and sound to evoke a sensory response.
