Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the interface between phonological and metrical
structure. The interaction between phonology and metrics is explored from two
perspectives: one looks at poetic aspects as evidence for phonological
characteristics; the other explores to what extent phonology conditions the
development of poetic tradition and by what means the metrical template is
filled by phonological material. The case study is Renaissance metre and its
implementation in a set of Romance and West-Germanic languages. A comparison
of the different ways in which the same source metre was incorporated in
various European poetic traditions sheds light on the role played by phonology
in the process of adaptation. When a metre is borrowed, this needs to be
adapted to the metrical structure which mirrors the phonology of the recipient
language. In particular, the metrical template selects a macroparameter based
on the macroparameter selected by phonology. The phonological macroparameter
defines which prosodic domain (i.e. phrase or word) plays a prominent role in
the language; consequently, metrics selects which of its layers (i.e. colon or
foot) is going to play a prominent role in the poetic form. In addition, this
work argues that the relationship between the two structures is bidirectional:
on the one hand, phonology sees metrical structure and fills it with its
elements; on the other hand, the metrical structure can stretch the
possibilities of phonological material. The interaction is based on a series
of matches and mismatches between the two structures, in a game of tension
managed by metrics.
