Rhythm is expressed by recurring, hence predictable beat patterns. Poetry in many languages is composed with attention to poetic meters while prose is not. Therefore, one way to investigate speech rhythm is to evaluate how prose reading differs from poetry reading via a quantitative method that measures predictability. We use linear regression to predict the acoustic properties of segments from...

With the rise of ecological branch of literary criticism many critics have attempted to explore the relationship of literature and environment. Consequently the role of literature, and especially poetry is re-examined from ecocentric perspective, that is, poetry is considered as promoting ecological consciousness.

It starts by presenting two possible categorisations for systems that aim generating poetry and then makes a brief overview on the existing attempts to this subject based on what can be found in the literature.

For α, β, n ordinals α → (β, n) means that any graph on the ordinal α either contains an independent set of order-type β or a complete subgraph of order-type n. We only consider cases where n is a natural number, hence the naming. The partition relation α → (β, n) for α, β finite multiples of κ where κ = ω or κ is weakly compact is characterized by a finitary problem as is the same for α, β fin...
