"Alliteration" is from the Latin word littera, meaning "letter of the alphabet", and the first known use of the word to refer to a literary device occurred around 1624 . Alliteration narrowly refers to the repetition of a letter in any syllables that, according to the poem's meter, are stressed, as in James Thomson's verse "Come...dragging the lazy languid Line along". Another example is "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers". </P> <P> Consonance is a broader literary device identified by the repetition of consonant sounds at any point in a word (e.g. coming home, hot foot). Alliteration is a special case of consonance where the repeated consonant sound is in the stressed syllable . Alliteration may also refer to the use of different but similar consonants, such as alliterating z with s, as does the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, or as Anglo - Saxon (Old English) poets would alliterate hard / fricative g with soft g (the latter exemplified in some courses as the letter yogh--ȝ--pronounced like the y in yarrow or the j in Jotunheim); this is known as license . </P>
