1 Revision
• Alliteration(头韵) is the repetition of the initial consonant cluster in stressed syllables. Two points need to be explained in relation to the definition. • Firstly, what is meant by the initial consonant cluster? In English, a syllable consists of three parts: an initial consonant cluster, a vowel or diphthong and a final consonant cluster. The initial consonant cluster is formed by 0,1,2 or 3 consonants. For example, the longest initial consonant cluster is found in ‘strong’/str/, where there are three consonants.
