You mean "what are the criteria for alliteration." Criteria is plural.An alliteration is the use of a repeating consonant sound at the beginning of words. They do not need to be spelled the same. They do not need to be immediately adjacent, but any intervening words should be unaccented. "The Quran is kind to Christians" is an alliteration notwithstanding the unaccented words "is" and "to" and the fact that the same sound is spelled in three words with a "q", a "k", and a "ch".On the other hand, "civic charity committee" is not an alliteration because although all three words start with "c" the "c" is pronounced differently in each word.
oxymoron

If used close to another word that starts with the letter 'a' as in the example, "All Amy's allergies made her go achoo!" then it would be considered an alliteration, but not by itself. Alliteration requires at least two words with the same front sound.Achoo is, however, an onomatopoeia.

Alliteration is the repeating of the first letter of a word. Ex: She Sells Sea Shells by the Sea Shore. In which, the alliteration would be the repetition of the letter S. I hope my answer was helpful :D

Alliteration is the repeating of the first letter of a word. For example, "Sally sells seashells by the seashore" is an alliteration using the letter "s".
One example of a poem by Shel Silverstein that contains alliteration is "Sick". In this poem, the repetition of the "s" sound in phrases like "silver sevens" and "soggy cereal" creates a playful and melodic effect.
The English word "technique," which means method of performance, comes from the French word "technique", which itself is a version of the Greek word "technikos."
The word 'technique' entered the English language in the mid-19th century, borrowed from French. It originally comes from the Greek word "tekhnē," meaning art or craft.
Repeating the same consonant in a word is called consonance. It is a literary technique used to create a rhythmic sound and add emphasis to words.

Alliteration is hard.
I love the word Alliteration
In alliteration, similar sounds of several successive words occur at the beginning of each word. This repetition of sounds helps create a rhythmic and memorable effect in language.
