In the poem "Jabberwocky" the word snicker-snack uses the literary sound device alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of beginning consonant sounds in words. For example: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. It is also used as a sort of Onomatopoeia, but Carroll made up many of the words inside of the poem.
