Counting in metrical verse

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

In this essay we approach the study of “cognition and literature” by examining a problem presented by metrical verse. When a poet composes a metrical line, or an audience judges that line to be metrical, they must be counting syllables, but how is that counting performed?
