TENTATIVE REMARKS ON CHINESE METRICS

This paper sets out a metric system for Chinese verse for most periods and for tonal and non-tonal verse alike. On the assumption that meter and the phonology of language are not identical systems, it proposes stress as the feature which marks rhythm. A description of the foot and colon is given and...

description This paper sets out a metric system for Chinese verse for most periods and for tonal and non-tonal verse alike. On the assumption that meter and the phonology of language are not identical systems, it proposes stress as the feature which marks rhythm. A description of the foot and colon is given and problems of scansion are discussed The notion that variations of delivery do not change meter or scansion explains in part why the metric scheme proposed can apply to a broad range of verse.
