Schemes deal with the word order, letters, syntax and
sounds whereas trope deals with modifying the meaning
of a word. Alliteration, assonance, parallelism,
spoonerism and tautology are some of the popularly
used rhetorical schemes by authors, journalists,
bloggers, poets and writers. Schemes can be used to
add effect, intensify meaning, and show the
personality of the speaker and the situation.

with definition, explanation and examples. Some of
them are:

Alliteration
