Why throat rhymes the way it does
Throat is built around the round /oส/ (/oส/); it's one-syllable and lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 82 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 120, assonance 5,823, and consonance 869. 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. 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. Throat rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
