PHONETIC EXPRESSIVE MEANS: ALLITERATION, ONOMATOPOEIA

Abstract

 
Abstract:  This  article  examines  the  role  of  phonetic  expressive  means, 
particularly alliteration and onomatopoeia, in the stylistic organization of language and 
literary texts. Phonetic devices function as important tools that enhance the emotional, 
aesthetic, and imaginative qualities of speech through the deliberate arrangement of 
sounds. The article focuses on the linguistic nature of alliteration as the repetition of 
similar  consonant  sounds  in  neighboring  words,  which  contributes  to  rhythm, 
musicality, and emphasis within a text. It also analyzes onomatopoeia as the imitation 
of natural or environmental sounds through language, allowing writers to create vivid 
auditory imagery and intensify the sensory perception of the reader. Special attention 
is  given  to  the  stylistic  functions  of  these  phonetic  expressive  means  in  literary 
discourse, where they help to convey mood, strengthen semantic content, and produce 
a  stronger  emotional  impact.  The  study  demonstrates  that  alliteration  and 
onomatopoeia are not merely decorative elements of language but significant stylistic 
devices that enrich the expressive potential of speech and contribute to the artistic 
effectiveness of literary works.
