ALLITERATION AS A LITERARY DEVICE
Abstract
This article is devoted to some literary and theoretical views of Alliteration in English, giving a stylistic analysis of some literary passages in which the word master in the text of a work of art uses repetitions of individual consonants or their combinations. Alliteration is a method of euphonic repetition in one voice, tuning one or two similar sounds. It is a beautiful musical unity of the author’s thought inherent in poetry and high prose. Usually the semantic words of a sentence are alliterated. The article emphasizes that for alliteration to be effective, alliteration words must be consistent. If there are too many non-alliterative words in the middle, then the literary medium is not fit for purpose. In this regard, this article discusses alliteration and its methodological and stylistic functions in the literature.
