What is repetition of initial consonant sound?

Repetition of initial consonant sound is called alliteration.

It's a literary device where words that start with the same consonant sound are placed close together. This creates a pleasing rhythm and emphasizes the words.

Examples:

* Peter picked a pickle.

* She sells seashells by the seashore.

* We went to watch the waters wash the whore.

Alliteration is often used in poetry, advertising slogans, and children's rhymes to make the language more memorable and impactful.
