    A promising step

    I hope Mr Anandajoti, The prominent Indian prosodist, will join our forum to discuss the details of the subject on

    https://sites.google.com/site/alaroo...dajoti-bhikkhu

    Any relevant comment in English is welcome.‎
    I hope others concerned will join too, that this page will present numerical prosody on a larger and ‎higher scale.‎
    Those willing to register in the forum are welcome. That is achieved by sending a message to ‎

    I left a request for Mr. Luke Prater on:‎
    http://lukepraterswordsalad.com/2011...comment-14427‎

    He sent the following comment:‎

    Hi - you left a comment/link on my poetry site (I use a lot of meter etc). I couldn't find a way to comment on your ‎Google site - but I think the project is excellent. I have one issue with what you say there though: that ‎Western/English meter (which, as you say, is stress-based) doesn't successfully emulate the Greco-Roman ‎quantitive (short-long) metrical system. In many cases, in fact it does. The rhythm of using the most common ‎syllabic feet - iambs (di-DUM) and trochees (DUM-di) - (but not the trisyllabic feet anapaests (di-di-DUM) and ‎dactyls (DUM-di-di) as all three stresses are evenly weighted in terms of rhythm, like triplets in music), are for all ‎intents and purposes also short-LONG and LONG-short, respectively. This is because the rhythm of iambs and ‎trochees is not duple (2/4 in music), but it's of-set, like a horse galloping. What makes a stressed syllable feel ‎stressed? Not just but saying it out louder. The stressed syllable is longer, or has more space after it. Musically, ‎the unstressed syllable is the upbeat, it's half-swallowed, and we are in a triplet rhythm still, NOT a duple one. So ‎an iamb is actually di-DUM-(rest), di-DUM-(rest), rather than di-DUM, di-DUM. In many cases the (rest) will be a ‎continuation of the stressed DUM syllable. So it either feels, or actually is, longer. Musically, rhythmically. It is very ‎close to Classical quantitive meter. Agreed, trisyllabic feet that fill all three beats cannot be. And certainly ‎tetrasyllabic feet, but these are not used anymore except for novelty's sake.

    Thus, iambs and trochees feel quantitive and iambs are overwhelmingly the most used metrical foot in ‎Western poetry, where feet are still used.

    Does this make any sense?

    Interesting topic!

    Cheers

    Dear Ust. Ibaa
    This is the first time I read that iambic and trochee are quantitative.‎
    You feel the basically quantitative Arabic and the stress based English ‎meters . ‎
    ‎1-‎ Does Mr Luke when he speaks of the quantitative nature of iambs ‎and trochees mean quantitative as we feel it in Arabic, or some sort ‎of quantitative that we may not feel. Do you feel quantitative?‎

    ‎2-‎ ‎ It is to be noted that he differentiated between iambs = 1 2 and ‎trochees 2 1 on one hand and pyrrhic = 11 =(2) , spondees 2 2, ‎anapests 1 1 2 =(2) 2 and dactylic 2 1 1 = 2 (2)‎

    I used the Arabic symbol to bring to the awareness of the Arabic ‎reader the role that numerical prosody reveals the similarities and ‎analogies between seemingly two too far away meters. ‎
    Iambs = 12 ~ watid majmoo' , trochees = 21~ watid mafrroq both ‎having the odd figure 1‎

    All the other feet being even composed of twos ~ sababs lie within ‎the description Arabic khabab

    Mr. Lukes description :

    but not the trisyllabic feet anapaests (di-di-DUM) ‎and ‎dactyls (DUM-di-di) as all three stresses are evenly weighted in terms of rhythm
    Is very profound and important.‎

    ‎“Evenly weighted in terms of rhythm” attadaffoq alkhababi – in Arabic ‎

    That he considers 1 1 2 as trisyllabic , in contrast to Arabic khabab were ‎they are considered (2) 2 just two syllables is a matter of idiom that does not affect the essence .‎

    As if English has two parts :‎
    A-‎ ‎ Iambic and trochaic overlapping to a crtain degree with quantitative ‎meter like Latin and Arabic
    B-‎ ‎ The rest overlapping to a certai degree with syllabic meter like ‎French.‎

    How encouraging is numerical prosody to enable one to talk of the ‎meter of languages he does not know.‎



    Please listen to these at the end of the link :‎

    Examples of various meter sound samples

    sample of how 1/4 meter (help·info) sounds in a tempo of 90bpm.
    sample of how 2/4 meter (help·info) sounds in a tempo of 90bpm.
    sample of how 3/4 meter (help·info) sounds in a tempo of 90bpm.
    sample of how 4/4 meter (help·info) sounds in a tempo of 90bpm.
    sample of how 5/8 meter (help·info) sounds in a tempo of 120bpm.
