Rhythm and Meter Rhythm Meter verse Foot scansion

rhythm Rhythm refers to any wavelike recurrence of motion or sound. In speech it is the natural rise and fall of language. All language is to some degree rhythmical, for all language involves some kind of alternation between accented and unaccented syllables.

Meter Meter is the kind of rhythm we can tap our foot to. In metrical language the accents are arranged to occur at apparently equal intervals of time, and it is this interval we mark off with the tap of our foot.

Meter The word meter comes from a word meaning “measure”. To measure something we must have a unit of measusrement. For measuring length we use inch, the foot and the yard; for measuring time we use the second, the minute and the hour. For measuring verse we use the foot, the line, and sometimes the stanza

meter The secondary unit of measurement, the line, is measured by naming the number of feet in it. The following names are used: monometerpentameter dimeterhexameter trimeterheptameter tetrameteroctameter

verse Metrical language is called verse. Nonmetrical language is prose. Not all poetry is metrical, nor is all metrical language poetry. Verse and poetry are not synonymous terms, nor is a versifier necessarily a poet

Foot The basic metrical unit, the foot, consists normally of one accented syllable plus one or two unaccented syllables, though occasionally there may be no unaccented syllables, and very rarely there may be three

Names of foot Iamb Trochee Anapest Dactyl Spondee Monosyllabic foot

scansion The process of measuring verse is referred to as scansion. To scan any specimen of verse, we do three things 1. we identify the prevailing foot 2. we name the number of feet in a line 3. we describe the stanza pattern
