First, the top-down computation applies to [[D.sub.1]] (Jan) and [[D.sub.2] [V.sub.2]] (eine Murmel verschluckt), which are claimed to be
metrical sisters.
Only the phrase "Tutti taittie" functions in this way; while all the lines of the motto share the
metrical regularity of this phrase, only here are those
metrical effects brought to the fore to work in partnership with the semantic content.
Milton's direct contribution to congregational song may be found in his
metrical psalms, a sub-genre of classical hymns.
After discussing the various phases that the art form had passed through, Mr Kureshi talked about the different
metrical patterns (read: scansion) that exist in poetry.
He also describes the evolving system of scansion, which scholars can use to identify the
metrical systems Somalis use, pinpoint distinct measures, and revive lost and endangered measures.
As several scholars have contended, (1) however, there are compelling lexical and
metrical arguments both for a continuous tradition between Old and late Middle English alliterative verse, and for the exclusion of AElfric's rhythmical prose from this tradition.
Within this larger objective, Reconstructing Alliterative Verse has two basic aims: first, to situate recent
metrical scholarship in the theoretical context of the last two centuries, and, second, to demystify the verse for nonspecialists, explaining why the alliterative meter, as attested in both Old and Middle English, has been so resistant to theorization.
This section provides a theoretical framework arguing for stress assignment of BJAN loanwords within the
metrical model viewpoint.
Canon ap Gwilym translated all the Church's liturgy over the past decade into Welsh and also wrote an acclaimed translation of the
metrical psalms.
Yet he is not entirely alone in recognizing the deep cultural value of
metrical poetry: recent decades have seen the emergence of a small but active New Formalist movement among poets determined to retrieve the largely abandoned aesthetic patrimony of meter--often doing so in traditional forms such as the sonnet, the villanelle, the ballad, and the rondeau.
If we knew that it was taken from a poem deemed to be
metrical, would we be more inclined to find or make it rhythmical?
