Rhyme using
onomatopoeia in the
lyrics of Horsey Horsey
The lyrics of Horsey
Horsey introduce a child
to onomatopoeia (a word
that sounds like its
meaning) The words in
Horsey Horsey include
'swish' and 'clippetty
clop' when pronounced
convey the sounds a
horse might make! This
technique is used in
various children's books
and Television
programmes! The most
famous example of a TV
program which uses
onomatopoeia is Batman
and Robin with a liberal
scattering of words such
as 'Zap', 'Whoosh' and
Pow' etc. In Horsey
Horsey the words 'Giddy
up' are included. This
is a term long used by
horse riders from way
back in English history
and has been adopted in
many other parts of the
world. |
