Abstract:
This volume incorporates some of the most important trends in
linguistically-oriented theory of verse. It includes papers from renowned
scholars, such as Paul Kiparsky, Reuven Tsur, Gregory Nagy, Seiichi Suzuki,
David Chisholm, Geoffrey Russom, Marina Tarlinskaja, and others. Different
aspects of comparative prosody are treated, drawing from contemporary
approaches such as cognitive metrics, generative modelling, experimental
phonetics, etc. Special emphasis is placed on the linguistic typology of
verse forms as well as on their origin and historical evolution. The
analysis encompasses different languages and poetical traditions, such as
Greek, Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Irish, Old
Norse, Lithuanian, Serbian, English, German, Swedish, Russian, Estonian,
Finnish, Nenets. The main focus is on the linguistic structures of verse in
different cultures, their transformations and interrelationship. The volume
aims to instigate and promote a fruitful dialogue between different schools
in the study of versification.
