5.3.3.1.5 Sound play
As we have seen in true rhyme, rhymed syllables differ only in the onset of the
rhymed sequence. Feature rhyme, on the other hand, as defined by Zwicky (1986:68),
occurs when codas of two rhyming sequences minimally differ from one another by way
of their phonological features. For example, in his paper on rhyme in rock lyrics, Zwicky
(1976:677) says that the final sounds in the words “stop” and “rock” are consonants that
minimally differ. In this instance, both sounds are plosives and voiceless; the only feature
that is different is the place of articulation. For consonant features, refer to Table 21
below. This chart is arranged according to standard phonetic charts. Where there are two
graphemes in a box, the one on the left is unvoiced, the one of the right, voiced. In
extreme cases of feature rhyme, the sounds may differ by two articulatory features.
For vowel feature rhyme, Zwicky (1976:677) lists the example of “end” and
“wind.” The vowels in these words are relatively close in articulation. For the discussion
of vowel feature rhyme, see § 5.3.3.1.5.2.
