Assonance
Assonance (ăs'ə-nəns) is a literary device repeating vowel sounds in phrases or sentences close to each other in the text. It can even occur within individual words. Assonance can include the repetition of the same vowel sounds, or vowel sounds that are very similar. Assonance also creates an echoing effect [1].
Assonance in prosody is a repetition of stressed vowel sounds in words with different end consonants [2].
Assonance is the repetition of identical or similar vowel sounds in the stressed syllables (and sometimes in the following unstressed syllables) of neighbouring words; it is distinct from rhyme in that the consonants differ although the vowels or diphthongs match: sweet dreams, hit or miss [Baldick, 20].
Assonance is the similarity in sound between two syllables close together, created by the same vowels but different consonants or vice versa
