A-Z: General definitions: Pararhyme
Definition
A partial or imperfect rhyme which does not rhyme fully but uses similar rather than identical vowels. These can be sandwiched between identical or similar consonants. Sometimes the second rhyme is lower in pitch than the first, which produces the effect of dissonance and failure.
The device, frequently used at the ends of lines in poetry, where words with the same sound are paired, sometimes for contrast ' for example, 'breath' and 'death'.
The pitch of the voice is defined as the ‘rate of vibration of the vocal folds’.
A discordant or disharmonious combination of sounds
