Alliteration
In language, 'alliteration' is the repetition of a particular sound in the prominent lifts of a series of words or phrases. Alliteration has developed largely through poetry, in which it more narrowly refers to the repetition of a consonant in any syllables that, according to the poem's meter, are stressed, as in James Thomson's verse "Come…dragging the lazy languid Line along". Another example is Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers. In alliterative verse, the alliteration that is relevant to the metre is the lift of the half-line; the ironic example often given to illustrate this is that the word alliteration itself alliterates on the consonant l, not a - thus, bold beauty is an alliterative formula, between beauties is not, etc. Consonance is another 'phonetic agreement' akin to alliteration. Assonance is also often in said category, though is more akin to true-rhyme than alliteration. Alliteration may also include the use of different consonants with similar properties such as alliterating z with s, as does Tolkien in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, or as Anglo-Saxon poets would alliterate hard/fricative g with soft g; this is known as license. The concept is that the sounds are formed orally with exceptional similarity.
