Example 3: Jiggle it a little, it'll open #1. A tongue-twister is a phrase that is designed to be difficult to articulate properly. Repetition Many tongue-twisters use a combination of alliteration and rhyme. They have two or three sequences of sounds, then the same sequences of sounds with some sounds exchanged. For example, She sells sea shells on the sea shore. The shells that she sells are sea shells I'm sure. #2. Was he not just not Beanys Friend? # 3. Alliteration Alliteration is the effect generated when a bunch of words begin with the same sound. This ties a series of words together, but beware! It also becomes extremely annoying. Assonance Assonance is the result of two like-sounding vowels. Not two like vowels, but like-sounding. Even though the consonants are totally different in rhyme and line, the long I sound unites them, as other sounds unite Consonance Assonance’s opposite is consonance, which is the same idea as assonance, but substituting consonants for vowels. Throw a number of Ss into a line, with all different words and vowel sounds, and there will remain an unspoken, understated harmony similar to that demonstrated above. It works for any consonant: Now if you understand all of the above your near genius! Hope this helped....... alliteration. consonance. rhyme. 1. Alliteration 2. Alliteration 3. Consonance ~sig~ 7 days without soccer makes one weak the jiggle it seems intriguing to me .. what is it? wow what a cool mystery ! more specifically, the last one is internal rhyme "little, it'll", and consonance, when you add jiggle. Alliteration....both consonance and assonance are contained in alliteration now. I miss saying consonance for consonants, and assonance for vowels.... Supposedly, the most alliterative phrase in the English language is: lucent syrops tinct with cinnamon. Dunno...awful lot of good writers out there now! Tongue twisters~ It's something you would not to try to say' it fast 3 times.. ouch.. |
