Why soldier rhymes the way it does
Pull soldier apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 146, assonance 4,355, and consonance 107. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for soldier tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
