Why legality rhymes the way it does
The phonology of legality is a four-syllable core: the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 45 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 59, assonance 6,581, and consonance 317. 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. Legality rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
