Sibilance is the repetition of the 's' sound and so in poetry often affects the tonal qualities during the reading of the poem and it presents a threatening and unsettling atmosphere. In a novel the 's' sound ofen mimiks the sound associated to rustling of the hissing of a snake and so further affects to tone of context.
It is called "sibilance."
Sibilance is a literary device characterized by the repetition of the "s" sound in words close to each other. It adds musicality and rhythm to poetry, creating a hissing or a soft, whispering effect. Sibilance is often used to convey a sense of flow, emphasis, or to create a specific mood.
Sibilant means making a hissing noise, particularly related to speech (e.g. making the noises of 's', 'sh', 'z'). Therefore sibilance means the quality or state of being sibilant.
Sibilance creates a soft, hissing sound that can evoke a sense of whispering or secrecy. It often adds a sense of tension or drama to the writing and can help to create a specific mood or atmosphere for the reader.
ballad, assonance, aliteration, and sibilance
no difference. sibilance is a subtype of alliteration.
Allitertion using an "s" is called sibilance.
It depends on the context however, from recently studying the poem Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, September 3 1802, I have found there is a line containing sibilance; 'A sight so touching in its majesty:' This is one of the most important lines in the poem and its importance has been emphasised by the sibilance. Here it helps the line to flow and makes it easy to read. The 'so touching' makes the line slightly hyperbolic and creates an effect of desperation in that Wordsworth is trying to stress the importance of his ideas.However in another poem that i recently studied it had quite the opposite effect. In the poem Medusa, sibilance is used continuously throughout the poem to create the snake like creature that she eventually turns into. The sibilance represents the hissing of the snake and therefore the poem allows you to hear the creature without bluntly stating what she becomes. Sibilance in this context is used to gradually build up the jealousy and the other themes throughout the poem..hope that helped a little.
