A word answering in sound to another word.
To make rhymes, or verses.
To accord in rhyme or sound.
identical or very similar recurring final sounds in words (as in bat and cat) within or, more often, at the ends of lines of verse. to write words or lines of verse with such recurring sounds.
the repetition of the same ("perfect rhyme") or similar sounds, most often at the ends of lines.
the repetition of identical or very close sounds of accented syllables. (Examples of rhyming couplets: 1.2.262-3; 1.3.43-4; 1.5.197-8; 2.2.605-6; 3.2.397-8; 3.4.97-8; 4.3.71-2; 4.4.66-7; 5.1.301-2)
the repetition of concluding sounds in different words, usually at the ends of lines or stanzas
(LTC) Identity of sound between two words, extending from the last fully stressed vowel to the end of the word: for example, "h ill" and "st ill ollow" and "h ollow". Rhyme is usually employed at the end of lines, but poets can make use of internal rhyme.
A word corresponding with another in end sound.
or rime: n. similitude of sounds at the ends of words or lines of verse where the vowels and succeeding consonant sounds of accented syllables are identical. For example, "fan" and "ran" constitute perfect "masculine" rimes while "lighting" and "fighting" where the correspondence of sound lies in two consecutive syllables are called "feminine" or "double" rhymes. Triple rhyme occurs where correspondence of sounds lies in three consecutive syllables, as in "glorious" and "victorious." (Thrall / Hibbard / Holman, 418-420)
when two or more words or phrases contain an identical or similar vowel-sound, and the consonant-sounds that follow are identical or similar
Words that share the same sound; (i.e. share/care/bear/stare)
Identical or similar ending sounds between two words or lines.
correspondence in the sounds of two or more lines (especially final sounds)
be similar in sound, especially with respect to the last syllable; "hat and cat rhyme"
a repetition of identical or similar
when final vowel and consonant sounds in the last syllable of one word match those of another, usually at the end of lines
repetition of both vowel and consonant sounds: " dapple- dawn- drawn Falcon."
types of rhyme: End rhyme - rhyme occurring between words and the end of the line Internal rhyme - rhyme occurring between words within a line or between words within different lines Masculine rhyme - rhyme between accented sounds at the end of two words Feminine rhyme - rhyme between two different accented sounds followed by the same unaccented sound Slant rhyme - rhyme based on similarity but not identify or rhyming sounds
When a word sounds the same at the end of a word. The rimes sound the same.
Sharing identical or at least similar medial and final phonemes in the final syllable. Because English has a writing system with a deep orthography, words can rhyme without sharing similar orthography (e.g. SUITE and MEET).
repetition of sounds at the ends of words
a literary device used most commonly in poetry where words, with the same or similar sound in the last stressed vowel or consonant, are presented in some sort of pattern. For example, in the Davys’ song, “Eastbound Freight Train,” the second and fourth lines of each verse end with rhyming words: away/day; back/track; roam/home.
The repetition of sounds in two or more words or phrases that usually appear close to each other in a poem. For example: river/shiver, song/long, leap/deep. If the rhyme occurs at the ends of lines, it is called end rhyme.
the repetition of sound at the ends of words- Poets use rhyme to lend a songlike quality to the poem.
The occurrence of the same or similar sounds at the end of two or more words. When the rhyme occurs in a final stressed syllable, it is said to be masculine: cat/hat, desire/fire, observe/deserve. When the rhyme occurs in a final unstressed syllable, it is said to be feminine: longing/yearning. The pattern of rhyme in a stanza or poem is shown usually by using a different letter for each final sound. In a poem with an aabba rhyme scheme, the first, second, and fifth lines end in one sound, and the third and fourth lines end in another.
Refers to the repetition of similar sounds occurring at determined, or regular, intervals . See Also: END RHYME, EYE RHYME, FORCED RHYME, IMPERFECT RHYME, INTERNAL RHYME, and PERFECT RHYME.
The similarity of ending sounds existing between two words.
to sound alike in the last part.
The occurrence of the same or similar sounds at the end of two or more words. The pattern of rhyme in a stanza or poem is shown usually by using a different letter for each final sound. In a poem with an aabba rhyme scheme, the first, second, and fifth lines end in one sound, and the third and fourth lines end in another. Rhyme scheme The pattern that is made by the rhyme within each stanza or verse.
the matching of sounds of syllables at the ends of lines of verse. Since the Middle Ages rhyme has been a significant element in aiding poetry's memorability, and while it continues to have an importance in poetry, it is by no means a distinguishing characteristic of poetry in English.
using words that have similar sounds, e.g. round, found, pound, hound
the use of the same or similar sounds either internally or at the ends of lines in order to produce an audible echo effect; when this effect is regularly repeated over the course of a poem or stanza and obeys a precise and predictable formal pattern, it is called a rhyme scheme. To avoid rhyming notes that are too blatant or insistent, modern poets sometimes use near rhyme (e.g., bald, cold; brim, stream), which produces a subtler musical effect.
