50 Examples of Alliteration

Alliteration

The alliteration is a literary resource which has as its characteristic the successive repetition of one or more sounds with the aim of producing a certain expressive effect. For example: The lady does not love the master.

Alliteration and onomatopoeia

On many occasions, alliteration is often confused with onomatopoeia, but they are different elements: alliteration is the repetition of a sound, while Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech that consists of the use of words that imitate certain sounds. For example: Woof (evokes the barking of a dog) or boom (evokes the sound of a gunshot).
