the acoustic properties of speech sounds and the manner of
combining sounds so as to make syllables, words, and sentences

Stylistics

rhythm, rhyme and alliteration:

And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
“’Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;—
This it is and nothing more.” (The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe)
