Preface

Alliterationatau aliterasi adalahpengulangankata-kata yang diawalibunyi konsonan yang sama dalam satu frasa atau kalimat. Kata-kata ini tidak harus selalu diposisikan langsung bersebelahan.

Alliterationmemfokuskan padabunyi, bukan huruf.

Cookies in the kitchen [ˈkʊkiz] in the [ˈkɪʧɪn] adalah aliterasi karena cdalamcookiesdankdalamkitchen memiliki bunyi yang sama.

Wrathful widow [ˈrɒθfʊl ˈwɪdəʊ], meskipun sama-sama diawali huruf w, bukanlah aliterasi karena bunyi yang digunakan berbeda.

Alliterationseringkali digunakan sebagaitongue twisterataunursery rhymes, contohnya:

• Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
• She sells sea shells by the sea shore. The shells she sells are surely sea shells. So if she sells shells on the sea shore, I'm sure she sells seashore shells.
• Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said, this butter's bitter; if I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter, but a bit of better butter will make my batter better.

Nama untuk brand, judul, ataupun tokoh cerita juga sering menggunakan alliteration, contohnya:

• Peter Parker
• Coca-Cola
• Mickey Mouse
• Donald Duck
• Dunkin' Donuts
• Spongebob Squarepants
• Teen Titans
• Russian Roulette
