Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

She sells seashells down by the seashore.

These are both tongue twisters most people have heard before; however, most people don't know these sayings are examples of a literary term called alliteration, which occurs when a series of words, usually two or more neighboring words, have the same first consonant sound. A consonant is a speech sound that is not a vowel (a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y). The words in the sentence, 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,' mostly start with the consonant sound 'p.' Likewise, in, 'She sells seashells down by the seashore,' most consonants start with the letter 's.'

About Alliteration

As we've discussed, alliteration is a figure of speech in which a series of words, usually two or more neighboring words, have the same first consonant sound; however, sometimes repetition of sounds occur inside a word. Alliteration is used primarily in poetry but can be used in various facets of literature as well as song lyrics, names, quotations or any piece of writing.
