Why style rhymes the way it does
Style is built around the gliding /aษช/ (/y/); it's two-syllable and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 30 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 127, assonance 2,980, and consonance 906. 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. 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 style, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
