商品簡介
After years of study, Gamuute has identified the basic rhythmic elements out of which Somali poets create verse lines, and the principles that govern their use. He also describes the evolving system of scansion, which scholars can use to identify the metrical systems Somalis use, pinpoint distinct measures, and revive lost and endangered measures. Ringing through the changes, he discusses the grain of poetry, the syllabic metrical system, the quantitative metrical system, the syllabic-quantitative metrical system, the quantitative-syllabic metrical system, the syllabic-quantitative-syllabic metrical system, the quantitative-syllabic-quantitative metrical system, and phonology vis-a-vis consonant clusters.
