What is repetition of consonant sounds in stressed syllables?

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

Here's a breakdown:

* Alliteration: The repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of words or stressed syllables in a phrase or sentence.

Examples:

* Peter picked a peck of pickled peppers.

* She sells seashells by the seashore.

* Big bad bear.

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