聲音對上（現象本身）
這一族就是核心畫面本身：一個字相對於另一個字的尾音關係，以及把這個關係當成技法來談。
rhyme, noun, a matching word · noun · C2
A word that has the same end sound as another word.

核心畫面
One way to picture it: two words end on the same sound, and that matching tail makes them click together — cat and hat, light and night.

兩個字的尾巴長得一樣，念出來的時候後半段的聲音重疊在一起，像兩塊拼圖卡住那樣「咔」一聲對上——cat 和 hat、light 和 night、moon 和 spoon。要對上的是從重音母音一路到字尾的那一段，所以不是看拼字，是看聲音（love 和 above 押韻，love 和 move 不押）。這個「聲音對上」的畫面，往外可以長成押韻的技法、用押韻寫成的作品，也長出一個講「事情有沒有道理可循」的固定說法。名詞和動詞在歷史上是兩條線（一條來自 Anglo-Norman rime 的名詞，一條來自 rimer 的動詞），但兩邊指的是同一個聲音現象，所以放在一張圖裡看反而清楚。Three branches
押韻寫成的作品
從技法跳到成品：因為這種短作品的最大特徵就是押韻，人們乾脆用 rhyme 來指整首東西。
rhyme, noun, a nursery rhyme · noun · C2
A short poem or song, especially for children, that uses words with the same end sound.
兒歌
有沒有章法可循
押韻代表「聲音有規律、可預測」；把這個聯想推到事情上，沒有 rhyme 就是沒有可循的模式——不過這個意思只活在一個固定說法裡。
no rhyme or reason · noun · C2
No sensible reason or organization, almost always in the phrase no rhyme or reason.
