klmama Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds. Alliteration is repetition of the initial consonant sound. Assonance is the repetition of internal vowel sounds. Is there a term for repetition of initial vowel sounds? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klmama Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hmmm.... and I would have thought it would be assonance because of the vowels. Does anyone else have an opinion? Any "proof" one way or the other? I can't find anything. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
