Why raspberry rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for raspberry starts at the vowel โ the tight /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 167 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 7,192, and consonance 702. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Raspberry pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
