Formal Properties of Metrical Structure

چکیده
This paper offers a provisional mathematical typology of metrical representations. First, a family of algebras corresponding to different versions of grid and bracketed grid theory is introduced. It is subsequently shown in what way bracketed grid theory differs from metrical theories using trees. Finally, we show that there are no significant differences between the formalism of bracketed grids (for metrical structure) and the representation used in the work of [Kaye, et al., 1985], [1990] for subsyllabic structure.

Beyond the Regular: A Formalization of Non-Isochronous Metrical Structure
Meter perception is the process of inferring metrical structure, a hierarchical and regular mental framework of beats, from an auditory signal. Research on meter perception revolves around the question how listeners perform this task. Formal theories provide a complete abstract representation of metrical structure. Thereby, they provide a clear overview of its key properties and can be implemen...
متن کاملModelling Topological and Metrical Properties in Physical Processes
Developing suitable representations for formalising non-trivial domain knowledge has always been central to AI. Within Naive Physics ie. the task of encoding experiential knowledge of the world, few formal theories have appeared that exhibit formal elegance, conciseness and generality to cover a wide variety of modelling problems. We outline a first order formalism being developed that meets th...
متن کاملBruce Hayes A Grid - based Theory of English Meter
In recent years, we have seen a real deepening of our understanding of the nature of poetic meter and the English metrical system. In part, this has resulted from the application of the formal methods oflinguistics to metrical study-the willingness to formulate metrical rules explicitly and to check out their consequences has naturally led to progress. However, the new results also depend on re...
متن کاملThe foot: a unified entity for both metrical and segmental phenomena
The foot is the prosodic entity typically used to explain metrical phenomena like stress assignment and pitch accentuation. This paper attempts to widen the explanatory role of feet to include not only suprasegmental effects but also segmental behaviour. Segmental properties such as static distribution patterns and dynamic alternation processes are usually explained by referring to another pros...
متن کاملThe Life Giving Properties in the Structure of the Ganjali-Khan Square in Kerman based on Alexander’s Theory of Order
In studying the case studies of traditional architectures according to Christopher Alexander’s theory about “the nature of order” and the fifteen fundamental properties introduced, it is important to note that the ontology of the theory is based on human’s indigenous feeling about architecture, which subsequently implies these kind of studies to be based on people’s cognitive images induced fro...
