Prepared by: Reimbayeva Zilola Group: 1908 Phonetic stylistic devices Alliteration - is a stylistic literary device used in literature, poetry, and spoken word in which numerous words containing the same first consonant sound (or letter) occurs frequently and close together.
Alliteration examples - Janie read a book by the babbling brook.
- The child bounced the ball at the backyard barbeque.
- The barbarians broke through the barricade.
- He acts silly at times, but he was blessed with a brilliant brain.
- The beautiful bouquet blossomed in the bright sun
Onomatopoeia - is a literary device that uses the letter sounds of a word to imitate the natural sound emitted from an object or action. The word onomatopoeia can be traced back to the Ancient Greek word “onomatopoiia” which means the making of a word or name.
Examples of onomatopoeia - The tree fell in the forest and landed in a loud thump.
- He was just about in bed when he heard a ding-dong from the doorbell.
- The bee buzzed right above our heads.
- Knock-knock. All of their heads turned toward the front door.
- He ducked but was too late. Whack! The branch knocked him off his bike.
- We tip-toed through the living room and heard a woof from the backyard.
Euphony vs Cacophony - The literary device “euphony” refers to the use of phrases and words that are noted for possessing an extensive degree of notable loveliness or melody in the sound they create.
- A cacophony in literature refers to the use of words and phrases that imply strong, harsh sounds within the phrase. These words have jarring and dissonant sounds that create a disturbing, objectionable atmosphere.
Euphony vs. Cacophony - It has been said that the phrase “cellar door” is reportedly the most pleasant sounding phrase in the English language. The phrase is said to depict the highest degree of euphony, and is said to be especially notable when spoken in the British accent.
- His fingers rapped and pounded the door, and his foot thumped against the yellowing wood. Cacophony
Assonance - Is the repetition of vowel sounds in words that are close together in a sentence or verse. For example, “His tender heir might bear his memory” (William Shakespeare, “Sonnet 1”). The “eh” sound in “tender,” “heir,” “bear,” and “memory” is an assonant sound.
Paronomasia - is the technique of using a pun, or a joke based on multiple or possible meanings of words. Shakespeare was the king of paronomasia. Most examples of paronomasia are funny, a clever play on words, although it's also used for emphasis in rhetoric or as a poetic device in literature.
Paronomasia - Example: Richard III (By William Shakespeare)
- Launce: “It is no matter if the tied were lost; for it is the unkindest tied that ever any man tied.”
- Richard: “Now is the winter of our discontent … made glorious summer by this Son of York.”
- William Shakespeare is probably the most renowned punster in literature. Here the word “tied” is used three times as homophonic paronomasia, giving different meanings in three different places. Similarly, the word “son” is King Edward IV, not the weather of York.
