Is alliteration the repitition of vowel sounds or consanent sounds?

Answer 1

it's a repitition of initial consonant sounds, words that all start with the same letters in a sentance.

Answer 2

I think people have missed the central point of the question!!!!! If you look very carefully to the question, all the given answers which contain the letter Y are null and void. The question did not say vowel, but A VOWEL SOUND [capital is mine]. In that case, letter Y sounds like vowel "i", and therefore any word with the sound of "i" will disqualify. The challenge, therefore, still stands. Unless, one comes up with a word without A VOWEL SOUND, both in letter and in SOUND [phonetic]. Got it?!!!! Here are a couple of words which contains neither a vowel nor a VOWEL SOUND. Brr = too cold Psst!= Hey you! Grrrr = expressing anger Crwths= a welsh instrument [provided you do not consider "w"as a vowel substitute]. All the best!/

Alliteration is the repitition of consanant sounds, not vowels.

Answer 7

the alliterative technique may be either a veritable vaction of vowel sounds OR a continuous combination of consonants.

Answer 8

either or
