What is the repetition of same sounds or kinds at beginning words in stressed syllables?

The repetition of the same sounds or kinds at the beginning of words in stressed syllables is called alliteration.

For example:

* Peter picked a peck of pickled peppers.

* She sells seashells by the seashore.

Alliteration is a common literary device used for emphasis, rhythm, and memorability.
