please help me find this answer before i tear my hair out... what is it called the when the beginning sound of a word repeats itself in a phrase or sentance? for example: Tommy took two tulips to timmy's on tuesday. this is driving my crazy.. i thought it was called an assination.. but that turns out not to be a word.. soooo.... i figured i would be best to ask you all, since you are all such a brilliant bunch.. well.. some of you are anyway =)
Alliteration (I don't know if there's a more specific term if the repeated sound is at the beginning of the word). There's also "assonance", if the sound is a vowel.
so then... if consanant = alliteration.. and a vowel = assonance.. then... "Thomas took Oliver's oval oranges twice on tuesday" = Assonation? HEHHEHEEHHEHE
