It is in combination with other words that a word may acquire a desired phonetic effect. Thus, different types of sound combinations may produce certain stylistic effect especially if they are properly used.
Phonetic expressive means and stylistic devices are used for the purpose of producing certain acoustic effect, giving emphasis to the utterance and arousing emotions in the reader or the listener.
