Glossary Definition of word.
alliteration An alliteration (a.k.a., initial rhyme or head rhyme) is a literary device which combines a series of words beginning with the same letter or letters (often consonants) which creates a more artistic sound when read aloud. An example would be, An alliteration aligns allied annunciations. The alliterations of the Bible are only noticed if reading from the original Hebrew or Greek. The harmonious sounds that we find in the English are unlikely reflecting alliterations found in the original languages. According to Dr. E. W. Bullinger, "The song of Deborah, in Judges 5, abounds with examples of Homœopropheron [i.e., alliteration], which add great fire and force and beauty to the original" (source: London; New York : Eyre & Spottiswoode; E. & J. B. Young & Co., 1898, S. 171). |
