Alliteration is a figure of speech consisting of the repetition of sounds of the same or similar consonants. It usually occurs, at the beginning of the words, that make up verses or phrases, but may also be in the middle or the end. It is essentially based on the sonority that comes from these letters thus positioned. It is a linguistic alternative used as a strategy to intensify the rhythm and produce a sound effect that emphasizes the text. It is the feature that makes a consonant sound repeat.
