Abstract

In this paper I argue that rhyme and alliteration are significantly different as types of sound patterning. They differ in more than their position within
the syllable or word. This difference emerges when we look at different kinds
of verbal art in which rhyme or alliteration are used systematically. I suggest
that there are possible psychological reasons for the difference, relating to memory and attention.
