Types of Interaction between Meter and Language in Relation to the Spread of the Syllabo-tonic in European Verse from the End of the 16th Century to the Mid 18th Century

Abstract This article studies the problem of the interaction between meter and language in the development of syllabo-tonicism in English, Dutch, German and Russian verse at the expense of restress: the shift in location of the main word stress from the strong to the weak position of the metrical scheme. The article draws attention to the question of metric “purity”. It puts forward the hypothesis that the spread of the syllabo-tonic versification from one literary tradition to another had a purifying effect on the realisation of iambic metric schemes.
