Abstract:

In Language and Meter, Dieter Gunkel and Olav Hackstein unite fifteen
linguistic studies on a variety of poetic traditions, including the Homeric
epics, the hieratic hymns of the Ṛgveda, the Gathas of the Avesta, early Latin
and the Sabellic compositions, Germanic alliterative verse, Insular Celtic
court poetry, and Tocharian metrical texts. The studies treat a broad range of
topics, including the prehistory of the hexameter, the nature of Homeric
formulae, the structure of Vedic verse, rhythm in the Gathas, and the
relationship between Germanic and Celtic poetic traditions. The volume
contributes to our understanding of the relationship between language and
poetic form, and how they change over time.
