English Rhyming Dictionary This program outputs all the known perfect rhymes for the given word(s). The results are normally filtered according to a list of valid English words (see "WORD LIST" below) and then displayed to the user, grouped by the number of rhyming syllables (the "order" of the rhyming word). RHYMING DICTIONARY This program uses the Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary (called the "CMU dictionary"). This dictionary (UTF-8 encoded) is included in the data directory. WORD LIST The CMU dictionary includes words not commonly present in daily speech. To rectify this, a list of valid words can be given. Only resulting rhymes present in this word list (called a "dictionary" by the program) are displayed. Additionally, words starting with an upper-case letter (usually proper nouns) can be omitted via -n,--no-capital. Words present in this dictionary are displayed using the same capitalization as they have in the file. Therefore, with -a,--all, upper-case words in the output aren't present in the word list. If no word list is given, then everything from the CMU dictionary is included in the output and all words will be upper-case. PERFECT/IMPERFECT RHYMES By default, only perfect rhymes are displayed. Passing -R,--remove-stresses removes lexical stress notation and, in turn, adds imperfect rhymes to the output. In this specific program, I'm using the term "imperfect rhymes" to refer to words that share the same rhyming syllables but differ in lexical stress. For example, "BRIDGE" and "CARTRIDGE" rhyme but differ in which syllable is stressed. REFERENCES This CMU dictionary was obtained via the Carnegie Mellon University website: http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cmudict and retrieved on the 7th of September 2020. This code was loosely inspired by the node-rhyme (version 0.0.3) module by James Halliday (http://substack.net) https://github.com/substack/node-rhyme None of their code is included in this final program.
