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 51 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 251, assonance 4,057, and consonance 1144. 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. 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.
