The Variety and Effects of Alliteration in French Proverbs

Abstract

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.
