Slant Rhyme
Captions available
The idea
A slant rhyme is an imperfect one, where the sounds approach without matching, as in soul and all. It is also called near rhyme or half rhyme. The glossary gives it no headword but does define its visual cousin, which the next entry takes.
In practice
Sounds that approach without matching.
Where people slip
Also called near or half rhyme.
