2) Part of the tradition of metric verse was the analysis of verse forms in terms of metrics: this was an analysis based on the number of feet per line, and the number and distribution of syllables in the foot. A line might have two, three, four, five or six (occasionally seven or eight) feet; the favourite line, that of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Pope and Keats, was the pentameter (five feet). A foot might have two, three or four syllables, but, in addition, it might be either ‘descending’ or ‘ascending’ – that is, the salient syllable might occur either at the beginning or at the end.
Language is as it is because of the functions in which it has evolved in the human species. The term ‘metafunction’ was adopted to suggest that function was an integral component within the overall theory (Figure 1-12). context interpersonal METAFUNCTION T semantics context textual semantics context ideational semantics lexicogrammar expression ar INSTANTI T ATIONN ss ssion ar context ss ssion semanticss lexicogrammar gram expression ess Fig. 4 Context, language and other semiotic systems We have now introduced the major semiotic dimensions that define the ‘architecture’ of language in context (cf.
In English, the rhythm of speech derives from the marked contrast between strong and weak syllables (cf. Grabe & Low, 2002). When you speak, naturally and spontaneously, without paying attention to the process of speaking, the strong syllables tend to occur at roughly even intervals: nothing like so exact, of course, as in children’s verses, or in recitations like counting or listing the days of the week, but enough to provide a clear measure, a rhythmic progression with which the listener keeps in phase.
