Computational Stylistics in Poetry, Prose, and Drama pp 99–⁠116

Abstract

Within the framework of a study on the relationships between rhythm and meaning in French versified poetry, this chapter discusses the limitations of the most common approach: aligning syntactic and metrical structures. This approach, in theoretical works as well as in automated processing, focuses on enjambments, a notion that proves unsatisfactory in several respects. I suggest analyzing the metrical expressions themselves, considering their beginning, their end, and their internal consistency while also trying to integrate the processing time of successive metrical expressions and specific reader expectations, as well as the time periods and the individual poets considered.
