This article's goal is to examine alliteration in proverbs. They are inventions of the communal imagination or linguistic realities specific to a particular people's expressive linguistic area. Alliteration helps to highlight the music and rhythm of proverbs, much like other mnemotechnical techniques like rhyme or assonance. Moreover, it makes concepts with a moral importance more clear. I have discussed the alliteration's structure, particularly how the alliterant words are arranged. I have also underlined the results of employing this paremiological stylistic device.
