Is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in stressed syllables?

The repetition of initial consonant sounds in stressed syllables is called alliteration.

Here's a breakdown:

* Alliteration: A literary device where words beginning with the same consonant sound are placed close together.

* Stressed Syllables: The part of a word that is pronounced with more emphasis.

Example:

"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."

Notice the repetition of the "p" sound in the stressed syllables of "Peter," "Piper," "picked," "peck," "pickled," and "peppers."

Alliteration is often used in poetry, prose, and advertising to create a memorable and pleasing effect.
