Latin is the language in which the etymological origin of the word alliteration is found. Thus, we can establish that it is a term that is composed of three clearly differentiated parts: the prefix ad <\/em>which means \"towards\", the word littera <\/em>which can be translated as letter, and the suffix \u2013Tion <\/em>which comes to be determined as \"action and effect\".<\/p>\n

The alliteration<\/strong> consists, in tonal languages, in the repetition of a sound<\/strong>. When it comes to a minor art verse, the repetition must be detected on more than one occasion, but in major art verses for there to be alliteration, at least three repetitions must be found. It is a frequent resource in tongue twister<\/strong> and in texts created to teach children to pronounce a certain sound.<\/p>\n

\"Alliteration\"In prosody, alliteration consists of repeat the initial consonant at the beginning of two consecutive or closely spaced terms<\/strong>. That is, it involves repeating consonant sounds when a word begins or in its stressed syllable. For example: \"The roar of the branch breaking\"<\/em> or \"The classic clarinets have already been heard\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the poetry<\/strong>, alliteration is understood as a Figure of speech<\/strong> which aims to achieve a sound effect from the consecutive repetition of a single phoneme or similar phonemes. On the other hand, alliteration can also suggest images associated with the senses<\/strong>, as can be the sound of water or the gallop of a horse.<\/p>\n

Today, alliteration is a embellishment<\/strong> in prose and poetry, which pursues an effect of musicality<\/strong> Y sonority<\/strong>. Nevertheless, the alliterative verse was a principle of formal structure and the fundamental resource in the old Germanic verse.<\/p>\n

Examples of alliteration: \"In the silence you only heard \/ the whisper of the bees that sounded\"<\/em> (belonging to Garcilaso de la Vega<\/strong>); \"Hey, the sordid sound of the hangover, infamous mob of nocturnal birds\"<\/em> (Luis de Gongora<\/strong>), \"The dragonfly wanders from the vague illusion\"<\/em> (Ruben Dario<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

In the first example cited, that of the Toledo poet Garcilaso de la Vega, it must be emphasized that alliteration resides in the repeated use of the letter \"s\", a very subtle and effective way of introducing the sound that is described, the one that they make the bees. A buzz that of said animals that although it is not written as such, it manages to reach the reader thanks to the splendid use that is made of the aforementioned resource.<\/p>\n

In addition to all the above, it must be emphasized that on many occasions, what is alliteration tends to be confused with another resource called onomatopoeia. However, the difference is very clear and is that, while the first term consists of the repetition of phonemes in order to \"evoke\" a specific sound, the second concept comes to describe the action of imitation or recreation of the sound of something by means of the formation of a specific word.<\/p>\n

Thus, among the most frequent examples of words formed to recreate this sound and that are considered onomatopoeia we find: \"ring\" as a call signal on a telephone, \"woof\" as a dog's barking, \"meow\" as a cat's meow or \"bang\" like a shot.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
