I believe the answer is:

assonance

(Other definitions for assonance that I've seen before include "Audible agreement" , "as spring sprung demonstrates?" , "Partial correspondence" , "The repetition of similar-sounding words or syllables" , "Can season (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
