Why computer rhymes the way it does
The phonology of computer is a three-syllable core: the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/), then it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 21 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 154, assonance 3,552, and consonance 993. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Computer rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
