zaquierming Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I believe that qualifies as alliteration. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faux Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 alliteration only counts for the beginning syllables edit: ie. Bruce Banner Clark Kent :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaquierming Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Ah, well. :( I don't think there's a specific name for it then... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownmasterofnothing Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I think you're looking for assonance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dragon_Reborn Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 The technical name for it is "True Rhyme," but I believe you are looking for something different. ~~Let The Dragon ride again, on the winds of time~~I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.

Bubsa Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I think you're looking for assonance. That is your answer. Consecutive rhyming words create an assonance. EG: Dream Team. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_the_Viscous Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Those are all rhyming epithets. I don't actually know a word for that sort of thing in general -- I'm not entirely sure there is one. They do rhyme, and they have assonance, but these are not names for the things themselves. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
