Can you please add Arabic subtitle as well + I really wanna thank you for your amazing and helpful videos which is really helping me so much in my studies
Thanks so much for the suggestion, Smsm, and for your kind words! We'd love to add more subtitles from a variety of languages, but our budget for the project is unfortunately quite low. We're working on fundraising for more Spanish translations at the moment, and if we can get additional funds, we'll certainly consider adding Arabic as well!
If you enjoyed this video, give us some love my liking it, asking a question, or sharing your favorite example of alliteration! Thanks for watching, everybody!
Alliteration is use in speech or writing of several words close together, which all begin with letter , or sometimes called initial rhyme or head rhyme. Authors use alliteration to draw attention to expression, and make memorable names and pharses , elicit responses from readers and listeners. Every form of literature have alliteration included poetry, prose , drama, song lyrics, children literature. Examples or alliteration clary close her cluttered clothes closer . Good grief and red rose . Good example Shakespeare from forth fatal loins of these two foes / pair of star crossed lover . Romeo and Juliet now old desire both in his death bed lie and gallp apace , you firely footed seeds . Thank you for your wonderful educational literary channel.
this segment had me researching rap music in different languages to discover why certain languages, even over music, does not sound as appealing. It has much do with how my ear has been trained to appreciate and understand alliterative rhyme choices. I feel my foreign music playlist will open up now! Well played, Tekla.
Amazing presentation. As an Urdu speaker, our verses also emphasize end-rhyme over head-rhyme. Detecting alliteration in English has always been hard for me, since I’m so used to end rhymes.
Great question, @tz6011 ! To the best of our knowledge, the same syllables do not have to be stressed but they often are to emphasize the sonic repetition. Thanks for keeping the conversation going!
Great question, Aisha! Alliteration can certainly occur through assonance as well as consonance, though the latter catches our ear more often than the former.
They gruffly grab the grocer's groats and grains The grateful groups they grudge the grace God grants They grasp sour grapes and grunt with griping pains And grew a grouch 'gainst gradual growth of plants They grind each grim face gripped by grief and grin Agree to grow ingrained disgrace from greed And graze like grubs on grass roots grafted in: Their grammar grapevine grows from grievance seed No great regret at grubbing greener ground. When greenhorns' groans and grumbles grate they greet The grand men grown in grit and grovel 'round On greased hands grimed with greed and graceless feet. Near groves, to granite graves so gruesome, gray, They've grimly groped their graded gravelled way. Author: Eden Santos Oliveira

"Cherry cola cigarette" - from a song of The Vamps, namely 'bitter'.
Great example, Ananya! Thanks for pushing the conversation forward!
Thank you. A terrific technical break down of the historical origins of alliteration and how it works.
Thanks so much for your continued support, TIM!

Thanks for the comment and examples, Khatoon! Does alliteration work in Arabic in the same way as it works in English?

Do you analyze lyrics of rock, rap, or other written word forms? Thinking of 8 miles. Or Dylan. Thanks.
Some of our other videos on poetry do indeed mention song lyrics. Check out our stanza and meter videos for more!
Hi! Thanks for the video! But i have a question: does the syllables have to be stressed, to count it as an alliteration?😊
Great question, @tz6011 ! To the best of our knowledge, the same syllables do not have to be stressed but they often are to emphasize the sonic repetition. Thanks for keeping the conversation going!
In highschool (in the 1960s) I memorized the definition of alliteration with this handy saying: Apt alliteration: artful aid.
Thanks for sharing this mnemonic device, Mary!

I thought alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds only...
Great question, Aisha! Alliteration can certainly occur through assonance as well as consonance, though the latter catches our ear more often than the former.
Gasssss 🔥

They gruffly grab the grocer's groats and grains
The grateful groups they grudge the grace God grants
They grasp sour grapes and grunt with griping pains
And grew a grouch 'gainst gradual growth of plants
They grind each grim face gripped by grief and grin
Agree to grow ingrained disgrace from greed
And graze like grubs on grass roots grafted in:
Their grammar grapevine grows from grievance seed
No great regret at grubbing greener ground.
When greenhorns' groans and grumbles grate they greet
The grand men grown in grit and grovel 'round
On greased hands grimed with greed and graceless feet.
Near groves, to granite graves so gruesome, gray,
They've grimly groped their graded gravelled way.

Thanks for sharing the poem, Eden! You've taken alliteration to the extreme here!

Thank you
Ha! Thanks for the post, @user-hm2gb6pm6b !
An astronaut ate an apple in space (please let me know if it is good)
That is very much alliteration, MamaTrev! And nice work with the assonance of ate and space!
Thanks so much
Not understood so hard
All alliterations are absolutely abhorred, utterly annoying, and antiquated. Acquiesce alliteration abolishment ASAP.
Ha! OK, this post is terrific, First Last.
