'''Phonaesthetics''' (from the Greek: φωνή, phōnē, "[[voice]]-[[sound]]"; and αἰσθητική, aisthētikē, "[[aesthetics]]") is the claim or [[study]] of inherent pleasantness or [[beauty]] ('''euphony''') or unpleasantness ('''cacophony''') of the sound of certain linguistic utterances. Poetry is considered euphonic, as is well-crafted literary prose. Important phonaesthetic devices of poetry are [[rhyme]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assonance assonance] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliteration alliteration]. Closely related to euphony and cacophony is the [[concept]] of consonance and dissonance.
