Homophones - each of two or more words having the same pronunciation but different meaning, origins or spelling.
Ex: blew , blue
hour , our
Homographs - each of two or more words spelled the same but not necessarily pronounced the same and having different meanings and origins.
Ex: bat - a piece of sporting equipment used in baseball / a winged animal associated with vampires.
Alliterations - the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.
Ex: she sells sea-shells on the sea shore.('s' is being repeated in more that two words continuously.)
Aasonance - resemblance of sound between syllabus of nearby words, arising particularly from the rhyming of two or more stressed vowel, but not consonants. But also from the use of identical consonants with different vowels .
Ex: sonnet, porridge
killed , cold , culled
