1.1 Some rhymes are better than other rhymes. Everyone would agree that home – bone is a better rhyme than home – dose. 1.2 Intuitively, home – bone is a better rhyme because those words are more similar to each other than the words in home – dose are. 1.3 Although there is general agreement that the goodness of a rhyme is determined by similarity, there are different suggestions for how rhyme ...

Surprising regularities in the distribution of nucleotides and pairs of nucleotides along the genomes of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes become evident when converting nucleotide sequences from symbolic to digital form. These regularities make the structure of a genome be less like that of a "plain text", which simply conveys a semantics in accordance to a grammar, and more like that of a "poem...

We propose two novel methodologies for the automatic generation of rhythmic poetry in a variety of forms. The first approach uses a neural language model trained on a phonetic encoding to learn an implicit representation of both the form and content of English poetry. This model can effectively learn common poetic devices such as rhyme, rhythm and alliteration. The second approach considers poe...

Using an auditory lexical decision task, we find evidence of a facilitatory priming effect for morphologically complex targets (e.g., snow-ed) preceded by primes which rhyme with the target's stem (e.g., dough). By using rhyme priming, we are able to probe for morphological processing in a way that avoids confounds arising from semantic relatedness that are inherent to morphological priming (sn...

We explore the relationship between temporal elements of the VC rhyme as a function of inherent vowel length and coda voicing in Australian English. Our findings for single monosyllabic words suggest that temporal organisation of the rhyme may be modulated by the strength of the durational contrast associated with long/short vowel pairs. Vowels such as /ɐː/ vs /ɐ/ which contrast by duration alo...

What features of a poem make it captivating, and which cognitive mechanisms are sensitive to these features? We addressed these questions experimentally by measuring pupillary responses of 40 participants who listened to a series of Limericks. The Limericks ended with either a semantic, syntactic, rhyme or metric violation. Compared to a control condition without violations, only the rhyme viol...

Developmental dyslexia is associated with rhythmic difficulties, including impaired perception of beat patterns in music and prosodic stress patterns in speech. Spoken prosodic rhythm is cued by slow (<10 Hz) fluctuations in speech signal amplitude. Impaired neural oscillatory tracking of these slow amplitude modulation (AM) patterns is one plausible source of impaired rhythm tracking in dyslex...
