      abstract = {Alliteration is all around us. From lovers of  tongue-twisters to the work of political speech-writers,  many make use of the trick of beginning words with the same  sounds. What effect does alliteration have? What history  does it have? What are the terms we might best use to  describe it? And when might people wish to avoid it? This  book gathers together an international group of specialists  to answer these and other questions using examples drawn  from their own research which fall in four continents and  in a variety of periods over the last thousand years. Here  you will find information on the names of Swedish people  and English fields, poetry in Somali and in British Sign  Language, and in what way Obama's Inaugural Address can be  said to be 'average'.},
