Why jeanette rhymes the way it does
The phonology of jeanette is a two-syllable core: the front /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 117 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 47, assonance 10,644, and consonance 913. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With jeanette, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
