alliteration
This term describes a sonic pattern where the initial sounds of words echo one another, creating a melodic or rhythmic quality. It is frequently employed in poetry and branding to make phrases more memorable or to evoke a specific mood, such as the harshness of plosive sounds or the softness of sibilants.
In linguistic analysis, this is distinguished from consonance or assonance because it specifically requires the repetition to occur at the start of the words. While it is a common tool in literary devices, it also appears naturally in common idioms and tongue twisters to enhance the auditory appeal of the language.
