alliteration
[ noun ] use of the same consonant at the beginning of each stressed syllable in a line of verse <noun.communication> around the rock the ragged rascal ran
Alliteration \Al*lit`er*a"tion\, n. [L. ad + litera letter. See {Letter}.] The repetition of the same letter at the beginning of two or more words immediately succeeding each other, or at short intervals; as in the following lines:
Behemoth, biggest born of earth, upheaved His vastness. --Milton.
Fly o'er waste fens and windy fields. --Tennyson.
Note: The recurrence of the same letter in accented parts of words is also called alliteration. Anglo-Saxon poetry is characterized by alliterative meter of this sort. Later poets also employed it.
In a somer seson whan soft was the sonne, I shope me in shroudes as I a shepe were. --P. Plowman.
In contrast to the poetic language and the erudition displayed elsewhere, sex is described either mechanically or with compulsive alliteration.
