Study Notes

Sound Devices Overview

  • Onomatopoeia involves words that mimic sounds, enhancing imagery (examples include "bang" and "hiss").
  • Repetition emphasizes particular sounds, words, or phrases, creating rhythm and focus.

Alliteration

  • Alliteration is identified by the recurrence of consonant sounds at the start of words, contributing to musicality and memorability.
  • A well-known example is "Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers."

Assonance

  • Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within words, without consonantal repetition, which helps create internal rhyming.
  • Examples include the words "lake" and "ate."

Consonance

  • Consonance refers to the repetition of consonant sounds, particularly at the end of words, enriching the sound texture of poetry.
  • An example is "Mammals named Sammy are clammy."

Rhyme

  • Rhyme involves the repetition of end sounds in words, which can create a sense of closure or harmony.
  • Examples include "begun," "fun," "won," and "done."

Rhythm

  • Rhythm is defined by the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables in poetry, influencing the pace and flow of the text.

Rhyme Scheme

  • Rhyme scheme refers to the systematic pattern of rhymes within a stanza, organized by assigning letters to identical sounds.
  • This tool aids in analyzing the structure and musicality of poetry.
