Generating Czech Iambic Verse

چکیده
In the paper, we describe an algorithm for generating Czech iambic verse and its implementation on a computer. It is a continuation of the work first done in 1972 [6], in which a program generating Czech iambic verse had been developed, written in the programming language Algol-Genius and run on the mainframe SAAB D21 with interesting results. Here, we present a new experiment which is a follow-up of the previous one and includes some new techniques as e.g. using a complete Czech automatic morphology (Majka) plus small DC grammar of Czech. The poetic rules built before 1972 by Jiří Levý are used with only slight modifications. SWI Prolog has been selected as a programming language. Also the resources are different, as a base for the poetic vocabulary we have decided to use the literary texts from Czech Wikisources.

Faithfulness 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 کاملAcoustic and Perceptual Correlates of Vietnamese Folk Poetry Rhythmic Structure
This paper reports a study on the acoustic realization and the perception of the rhythmic structure of Vietnamese folk poetry. Ten speakers of Sài Gòn dialect recite four folk poems that were made up of three-word, five-word, six-word, seven-word, and eightword lines. The acoustic analysis showed that the duration and intensity results mirror each other in indicating a strong iambic pattern of ...

pattern which the poet has created or adopted, perhaps only in part consciously. The poet uses this pattern as a basis of selection so that he may choose out of the infinite number of sentences of natural language those which qualify for inclusion in the poem. In the verse of interest here the pattern consists in the regulation of two linguistically given properties, the number of syllables in ...
متن کامل12 Metrics and phonological theory
The field of metrics studies how conventionalized rhythmic patterns are manifested by phonological material in verse. Metrics and phonology are closely related fields whose interaction is yielding increasingly important results. This chapter outlines some of these findings, as well as directions for future research. First, a caveat concerning what this chapter is not about. Metrics is only part...
متن کاملWASP: Evaluation of Different Strategies for the Automatic Generation of Spanish Verse
WASP is a forward reasoning rule-based system that takes as input data a set of words and a set of verse patterns and returns a set of verses. Using a generate and test method, guided by a set of construction heuristics obtained from formal literature on Spanish poetry, the system can operate in two modes: either generating an unrestricted set of verses, or generating a poem according to one of...
