A Computational Algorithm for Metrical Classification of Verse
نویسندگان
چکیده
The science of versification and analysis of verse in Sanskrit is governed by rules of metre or chandas. Such metre-wise classification of verses has numerous uses for scholars and researchers alike, such as in the study of poets and their style of Sanskrit poetical works. This paper presents a comprehensive computational scheme and set of algorithms to identify the metre of verses given as Sanskrit (Unicode) or English E-text (Latin Unicode). The paper also demonstrates the use of euphonic conjunction rules to correct verses in which these conjunctions, which are compulsory in verse, have erroneously not been implemented.

A computational linguistic approach to Spanish Golden Age Sonnets: metrical and semantic aspects
Several computational linguistics techniques are applied to analyze a large corpus of Spanish sonnets from the 16th and 17th centuries. The analysis is focused on metrical and semantic aspects. First, we are developing a hybrid scansion system in order to extract and analyze rhythmical or metrical patterns. The possible metrical patterns of each verse are extracted with language-based rules. Th...
متن کاملThe prosodic word as a unit in poetic meter
The epic decasyllable is a traditional South Slavic folk metrical form. The poems created in this rich oral tradition are of a highly formulaic nature, and possess a discernible metrical organization. My focus will be on the so-called Serbo-Croatian poems within this tradition (cf. Maretić 1907, 1935, Jakobson 1933, 1952), which have been documented in numerous volumes of verse. Among the most ...
متن کاملA Computational Algorithm based on Empirical Analysis, that Composes Sanskrit Poetry
Poetry-writing in Sanskrit is riddled with problems for even those who know the language well. This is so because the rules that govern Sanskrit prosody are numerous and stringent. We propose a computational algorithm that converts prose given as E-text into poetry in accordance with the metrical rules of Sanskrit prosody, simultaneously taking care to ensure that sandhi or euphonic conjunction...
متن کاملFaithfulness and Componentiality in Metrics*
The field of generative metrics attempts to characterize the tacit knowledge of fluent participants in a metrical tradition. An adequate metrical analysis will characterize the set of phonological structures constituting well-formed verse in a particular tradition and meter. Structures that meet this criterion are termed metrical. An adequate analysis will also specify differences of complexity...
متن کاملLarge-scale Analysis of Spoken Free-verse Poetry
Most modern and post-modern poems have developed a post-metrical idea of lyrical prosody that employs rhythmical features of everyday language and prose instead of a strict adherence to rhyme and metrical schemes. This development is subsumed under the term free verse prosody. We present our methodology for the large-scale analysis of modern and post-modern poetry in both their written form and...
