| A Treasure Trove (or Laundry List) of Awesome, Amusing, and Amazing Alliterations Alliteration is the repetition of initial sounds in neighboring words. "Slithering snake" is an alliteration because both words start with the "s" sound. "Notable knight" is an alliteration because both words start with the "n" sound (even though they start with different letters). |
