RHYME IN LANGUAGE: COGNITIVE, NEURAL, AND CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

Rhyme, a fundamental linguistic and poetic device, has captured the interest of scholars across disciplines due to its cognitive, neural, and cultural significance. This scientific article provides a comprehensive review of research on rhyme, exploring its role in phonological processing, memory, language development, neural correlates, computational modeling, and cultural practices. Drawing on insights from psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, computer science, and cultural studies, we examine the multifaceted nature of rhyme and its implications for understanding the structure and function of language. By synthesizing diverse perspectives, this article sheds light on the cognitive mechanisms underlying rhyme perception, the neural networks involved in rhyme processing, and the social and cultural dimensions of rhyme in human communication and expression.
