The term rhyme refers to the repetition of a sequence of phonemes or sounds at the end of the verse, taking the last stressed vowel, including this one.. It should be noted that rhyme is a hyper technique used at the behest of poetry.
If the aforementioned repetition includes all the phonemes from the aforementioned limit, then we are dealing with a rhyme of the consonant type. But if, on the contrary, the repetition is only of the vowels from that limit, the rhyme in question will be of the assonance type.
As it is easy to imagine, producing a consonant rhyme is much more difficult than producing an assonance since it offers us less freedom when combining words, something that does not happen with the assonance. From this it follows that, for example, the consonant rhyme is and has been more typical of those more refined and courtly periods of the History of Literature and on the other hand, the assonance is more in what is known as popular or traditional lyric .
Rhyme is basically a phonetic question and that is why it will be considered a consonant according to the pronunciation of the combined words in a region, because for example, it may happen that what stops in some Spanish-speaking countries is a consonant, such as word house with the word race, in other parts of the world where Spanish is also spoken, such as Spain, these two words are not consonant.
Rhyme turns out to be a literary device that dates back to time immemorial.Although looking back, from today to the Middle Ages, rhyme has occupied a central position, records of it can be found even long before. The Arabs used it and in some very primitive magical texts, it also appears, even a superstitious value was attributed to this similarity of the words.
The work of the poet who composes with consonant rhyme has an important creative value because it must be constantly and continuously inventing or finding a relationship that is significant between the terms that chance relates first by phonetic familiarity.
On the other hand, the concept of rhyme also refers to the composition in verse corresponding to the lyrical genre, to the set of assonants and consonants that are used at the time of a certain composition and to the set of consonants of a language.
When one thinks of rhymes, his name immediately comes to mind, because without a doubt he was one of the most prominent poets when it comes to generating rhymes and it would even be these that would give him the popularity that would determine him to fame.
So, one of the maximum references and representatives of composition in rhymes is undoubtedly the Spanish narrator and poet Gustavo Adolfo Domínguez Bastida, better known to all as Gustavo Bécquer, who in the nineteenth century turned out to be key with his rhymes for the development of the romantic movement that happened during that century.
Author of dozens of rhymes, Bécquer, knew how to shine in this aspect,
Below and as an example to graph all that we mentioned, we will point out one of its best known rhymes:
How does that rose that you lit live Next to your heart? Never until now did I contemplate on earth On the volcano a flower. "
Rhyme and its positive influence on learning human language
It should be noted that the rhymes contained in songs and readings intended for children are an ideal resource and that it is used a lot when it comes to helping children to recognize the sounds and rhythms of their language and words during their early years. In other words, so that they recognize and expand their vocabulary. Meanwhile, we say that they are ideal not only because they are easy to memorize but also because when they provide fun for the child, they tend to learn them more easily than other texts that do not have rhymes.
The meaning in Geology
In the context of geology we also find a reference for this word that concerns us, although of course, it does not present the diffusion of the previous reference.
Those narrow and long depressions that are present on the surface of the moon are called rhymes. There are even many rhymes that stand out for presenting long kilometers in width and length.
Meanwhile, there are three well-defined types of rhyme in this sense: arched (they would have their origin in lava flows and are characterized by their not very pronounced curved shape), straight (they have a linear shape and consist of a part of the crust of the moon that sank opportunely between two faults) and sinuous (they have a curved shape and would be the result of lava flow).
