Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates the sound it represents.
it is also called "imitative harmony"...like "splash, choo-choo, or slurp"

Correct spelling: onomatopoeia. A figure of speech that uses a word that imitates the sound it is describing and thus suggests it's source. ie. If I said moo you would know that I was talking about a cow.

Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates the sound it represents.
also imitative harmony
Example:
splash, wow, gush, kerplunk
Such devices bring out the full flavor of words. Comparison and association are sometimes strengthened by syllables which imitate or reproduce the sounds they describe. When this occurs, it is called onomatopoeia (a Greek word meaning name-making "), for the sounds literally make the meaning in such words as "buzz," "crash," "whirr," "clang" "hiss," "purr," "squeak," "mumble," "hush," "boom." Poe lets us hear the different kinds of sounds made by different types of bells in his famous poem "The Bells." His choice of the right word gives us the right sound when he speaks of "tinkling" sleigh bells; "clanging" fire bells; mellow "chiming" wedding bells; "tolling," "moaning," and "groaning" funeral bells.

i think u are asking about one of the poetic device used in literature "onomatopoeia".Well "onomatopoeia" means to use the words which have their pronunciations like that of the sounds of therelated things ,inregard of which we are talking. For example 1) a word "chatter" can be used by a poet to refer the sound of fast flowing river. 2) "hiss" istead of "buzz"

its when you have a word that directly illustrates a sound like the words "bang" or "boom" or "pow". It is also spelled O-N-O-M-A-T-O-P-E-A - I think . . . .
