<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Is anyone aware of a language where metrical/rhythmic structure
has clearly shifted from having right-headed (iambic) feet to left-headed
(trochaic) feet or vice versa? I’m studying a language variety where this seems
to be the case. It’s a quantity-sensitive system, so the change mainly affects
strings of light syllables. Any examples or suggested resources would be
helpful, thanks!<span></span></p>
