English XI - Skills Language Arts Terms 1 What is onomatopoeia?

Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates the sound it describes.

Think of the word "meow" – it sounds like a cat!

Here are some more examples:

* Buzz: The sound of a bee.

* Sizzle: The sound of food cooking.

* Bang: The sound of a door slamming.

* Clang: The sound of metal hitting metal.

* Roar: The sound of a lion.

Onomatopoeia is a fun way to bring writing to life and make it more engaging. It adds a sensory dimension to writing and can help readers imagine sounds vividly.
