Abstract

Abstract This essay researches how Robert Frost's poems “are made.” It offers new methodologies of analyzing stressing, the main constituent of poetic rhythm. Frost's iambic tetrameter is the material of analysis. The formula of entropy is used to measure the rhythmical diversity of texts. The essay also follows the distribution of word boundaries and syntactic breaks in poetic texts. Word boundaries and syntactic breaks are two more constituents of poetic rhythm. The conclusions are: (1) Frost's late poems are rhythmically more diverse than his early poems, and (2) the rhythmical structure of lines also depends on the narrative and thematic features of the poems. Similar features had been discovered in Russian poetry. Further research might show if these are poetic universals.

罗伯特·弗罗斯特:他的抑扬格四步格的节奏结构

本文研究罗伯特·弗罗斯特诗歌的“创作”。它为分析诗歌节奏的主要组成部分——重音提供了新的方法。弗罗斯特的抑扬格四格是分析的材料。用熵的公式来衡量文本的节奏多样性。文章还探讨了诗歌文本中词界和句法断裂的分布。词界和句法断续是诗歌节奏的两个重要组成部分。结论是:(1)弗罗斯特晚期诗歌的节奏比早期诗歌更加多样化;(2)诗句的节奏结构也取决于诗歌的叙事和主题特征。在俄国诗歌中也发现了类似的特点。进一步的研究可能会证明这些是否是诗意的共性。
