a simple question-

when a 'p' sound is repeated we say it to be plosive

when a 's' sound is repeated we call it sibilance

what do we say when a 'm' sound is repeated??? thanks!

From a linguistics perspective:
p- Bilabial voiceless stop and plosive are the correct terms depending upon where the letters fall.
s- Alveolar voiceless fricative and sibilance are the correct terms depending upon where the letters fall.
m- Bilabial Nasal. Also I have heard it called a condring (for any double consonant- although I am not sure about a double m specifically).


Why such an interesting question if you don't mind me asking.

i just want to write that in my essay...

what do u think about this, "Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon"

Fair enough!

I would say a double entendre as it has a dual meaning of Frankie literally kicking a mine and man walking upon the moon. Furthermore a double entendre is common in Shakespeare, poems and music.
