Building on recent advances in generative linguistics, the analysis presented in this book offers compelling explanations for a wide range of metrical phenomena that have been observed but only poorly understood for over a century.Topics in English linguistics ;36.English languageOld English, ca. 450-1100VersificationEnglish languageOld English, ca. 450-1100RhythmEnglish languageVersification.English languageRhythm.829/.3HH 1568rvkGetty Michael1969-1466068MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785827803321The metre of Beowulf3676361UNINA
