alliteration
Significado: The repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of closely connected words, used as a literary or rhetorical device. For example, 'Peter Piper picked a peck.'
Alliteration is one of the oldest and most recognisable sound devices in English, featuring prominently in Old English poetry such as Beowulf. It remains widely used in headlines, brand names (Coca-Cola, PayPal), political slogans, and tongue twisters. In literary analysis, alliteration can create rhythm, emphasis, or mood — sibilant alliteration (repeated 's' sounds) might evoke a snake, whilst plosive alliteration ('b,' 'p') can suggest force or urgency.
