Can English have words that are both alliterations and also rhyme? is looking for the sets of words that I want to put a specific term to.

Sets of words such as:

I'm wanting the missing word in

These words X with each other

where 'X' is something more comprehensive than "alliterate" or "rhyme" because they don't encompass that the other pattern is occurring too.

Minimal pair is close, but that allows single phoneme variation in any location, not just the middle, and wouldn't allow a hypothetical set of four-phoneme words that vary in their middle two.

  • Isn't it "poetic" or "creative" use?

  • @WeatherVane - The "poetic" in the title might be irrelevant. Not sure? I'm wanting the missing word in "These words [X] with each other", where X is something comprehensive than "alliterate" or "rhyme" because they don't encompass that the other pattern is occurring too.

  • Perhaps the words 'resonate'.

  • minimal pair is not a poetry definition. It's linguistics.
