This latter kind, in which the consonants remain the same but the vowel changes, in American usage is generally called consonance. Often the two types are combined, as between the words six and switch, in which the vowels are identical, and the consonants are similar but not completely identical. Rhyme, in which the final stressed syllables of words differ in their initial consonant while the rest of the word is identical, as in six and mix, or history and mystery, is a special case of assonance. Together with alliteration and consonance, vocalic assonance serves as an important element in verse. Assonance occurs more often in verse than in prose. It is used in (mainly modern) English-language poetry, and is particularly important in Old French, Spanish and the Celtic languages.
