Why royce rhymes the way it does
The phonology of royce is a one-syllable core: the rare /ɔɪ/ (/ɔɪ/), then it trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 27, assonance 688, and consonance 656. 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. Royce rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
