Frank Whitman points out that not only is the language within these traditions stressed and very different from other ancient Indo-European languages, but also the metrical principles underlying the verse of these three stressed languages differ demonstrably from those found elsewhere.Whitman begins with an analysis of Italic verse because it is far older than that of German or Celtic traditions, and is therefore more likely to yield primitive metrical patterns common to all three. After analysing the dominant pattterns of the earliest accentual verse, he turns to Old English metre, and looks closely at the typical length of the halflines, the phenomenon of clashing stress, and the nature of light lines. In his conclusion he introduces a new paradigm for the description of Old English metre. 606 $aEnglish language$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xVersification 606 $aLatin language$xMetrics and rhythmics 606 $aGerman language$yOld High German, 750-1050$xVersification 606 $aComparative linguistics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVersification. 615 0$aLatin language$xMetrics and rhythmics. 615 0$aGerman language$xVersification. 615 0$aComparative linguistics. 676 $a829.1009 700 $aWhitman$b F.
