3.12. Alliteration / Figures of Speech / English Writing

Ladies and gentlemen, I am Olga, your academic guide. Let’s talk about alliteration. Alliteration is a stylistic device in which a number of words, having the same first consonant sound, occur close together in a series. The term is derived from Latin’s “Latira.” It means “letters of alphabet.” For example, “But a better butter makes a batter better.” Alliteration creates a musical effect in the text. It makes reading and recitation of the poems attractive and appealing; thus, making them easier to learn by heart. Furthermore, it renders flow and beauty to your writing. Improve your skills, and see you tomorrow.
