Is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in stressed syllables?
When the sounds are at the beginning of a word, it's called alliteration. Most tongue twisters have alliteration, like "Sally sells seashells by the seashore". The "s" and 'sh" sounds are examples of alliteration here. When consonant sounds are repeated in the middles or ends of words, it's called consonance, like "some mammals are clammy". When vowel sounds repeat, it's called assonance. One example is in the tongue twister above, in the long "e" sound, but it can also be something like "mellow wedding bells" (Poe, "The Bells").
