          • Definition(s)
            • Asonance je druh rýmu spočívající v pouze samohláskové shodě slov, bez ohledu na souhlásky (např. dar – van). Asonance je častým prvkem zvláště v lidové poezii. Používá se také v poetistických dílech. www.wikipedia.org - by Igor Indruch
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Postačující rým je rýmem, který neodpovídá striktním pravidlům bohatého rýmu, ale pořád se jedná o úplný rým a nikoli o překlenutý rým (některé slovo má na konci o jednu souhlásku navíc), ani asonanci (pouhý souzvuk samohlásky / samohlásek). Postačující rým můžeme dále rozdělit na dobrý, obsažený a obstojný. - http://www.vaseliteratura.cz by Igor Indruch

            • While the bling of rhyme and meter are exciting, sometimes what a poem needs is the soft power of assonance. - The Fix
            • In more modern verse, stressed assonance has become the main literary device in modern rap, starting with gangsta rap like 2Pac in the 1990s, departing from rap's foundations in the 80's rapper like Slick Rick when rhyme at the end of each line was the cornerstone of poetic expression. - Wikipedia
