23、taphorical and beautiful.,verse,英诗有其特殊的1.语相（graphology）Lines of a poem are grouped into stanzas,and the way in which these lines are set or arranged on a page is the graphology of a poem.2.格律、韵律(格、音步、韵),Generally speaking,lines of a poem are centered in each line,with the first word of each line ali

24、gned on the left.E.g.,Wild Nights Wild Nights!Were I with thee Wild Nights should be Our luxury!Wild Nights Wild Nights!Were I with thee Wild Nights should be Our luxury!,Stanza（节）A stanza is a group of lines forming the basic recurring metrical unit in a poem.,Graphologically（语相）,poems are regularl

25、y patterned.Most poems are arranged in short,parallel lines.But different stanzas have different number of lines:A couplet（对句体）contains 2-line stanzas;a triplet（三行诗）,3-line;a quatrain（四行诗）,4-line;an ottava rima（八行体）,8-line;a sonnet（十四行诗）,14-line;etc.,Graphological deviation can occur in any sub-area

26、 of graphology,such as the shape of the text,the type of printing,punctuation,indentation,etc.But there are variations in form:偏离，就是对常规的违反，是文体学中一个重要的研究内容。偏离分为多种形式。尤其是诗歌中运用了大量的偏离手法，以取得某种特殊的文学效果。本文以罗杰麦克高夫的诗四十岁爱情为例，分析其中语相偏离的运用，这种偏离为更好的展示中年时期的爱情增添了无限生动与形象感。,40 love Middle aged Couple playing Ten nis Whe

27、n the Game ends And they Go home The net Will still Be be Tween them,40 岁 的 爱 中 年 夫 妇 打 网 球 打 完 了 网 球 往 家 走 球 网 仍 在 两 人 间,当激情归于平淡 解读罗杰麦克高夫 四十岁的爱情中的语相偏离,诗就其目的来说,它不是传达信息和传授知识,而是传达诗人对生活进行审美观照时所产生的体验。诗人将这种体验化为新颍独特的意象,来激发欣赏者的审美情绪和深广久远的思索,从而更好地感知并理解他的周围世界。诗人就是通过某种意象来进行写景、言志、说理等。但无论采用何种形式,都是反映诗人生活、思想、情感,最终

28、达到与读者的共鸣。不同的时代,诗的风格,表现手法有所不同。英诗早期,有严格的韵体、节律,后来逐渐发展到无韵诗(blank verse),继而又发展到自由诗(free verse),诗体的自由度,大大加强。,有的诗人违反传统,把每一行诗的开头大写字母小写,甚至把一个单词分写多行,让读者有更直觉的感受。有人说,诗人与哲学家是亲戚,诗的语言是一种哲学,那么诗的语词形式也可以哲学化,以达到内容与形式的统一,或者说,美的内容需要美的形式来体现。所谓“美”就是真,是艺术的真与现实的真的和谐统一。英国诗人罗杰麦克高夫401 ove)一诗,把诗的内容与诗的形式和谐地统一起来。这首诗读起来是诗(通过一种意象反映

29、了诗人对不和谐婚姻的伤怀),看上去又是一幅画,是一场在两个不是竞争对手之间展开的网球赛。,What is the graphological feature of the following poem by an American poet-E.E.Cummings,l(a le af fa ll s)one l iness,格律,Stood the maize in all its beauty 扬抑格四音步,Conventional forms of verses,1.Couplet(偶句诗、对句)：It is two lines of poetry that rhyme with eac

30、h other and are the same length.aabbccdd2.Quatrain（四行诗）：a stanza of four lines having alternate rhyme.abab,3.Blank verse（无韵诗）:It consists of lines in iambic pentametre(抑扬五音步)which do not rhyme.4.Sonnet（十四行诗）：The basic form is fourteen lines,each of ten syllables,and usually in iambic pentametre.A va

32、r rhytm.（无韵无节奏）6.Limericks（五行打油诗）：a humorous five-line verse with a rhyme scheme aabba.,7.The blank verse(无韵诗/素体诗)Blank verse consists of unrhymed iambic pentameters.（抑扬格的五音步诗）,How is the poem structured?1.Line（诗行）:A line of a poem is a group of words that are printed or written in one row,or spoken

33、 together.2.Stanza（诗节）:a group of lines forming the basic recurring metrical unit in a poem.(a verse:one of the parts into which a poem is divided),3.Layout（布局）/graphology（语相）：is the lines grouped into stanzas and the way in which they are set or arranged on a page;4.Numbers of lines;5.Regular metre

34、(格律):Which syllables carry stress?Are there an equal number of unstressed syllables between the stressed ones?How many feet(stressed syllables)in a line?,Comment on the type of foot and the number of feet per line or say that there is no regular metrical pattern(A poem can be written in free verse a

39、comedy;cSoon after,when my joy to sorrow flits,b I wail and make my woes a tragedy.c,Yet she,beholding me with constant eye,Delights not in my mirth,nor rues my smart;But,when I laugh,she mocks,and when I cry,She laughs,and hardens evermore her heart.What then can move her?If nor mirth nor moon,She

40、is no woman,but a senseless stone.,Poetic forms of sound&metre are the basic language units which are used to write poetry.The first aspect of poetry we will be concerned with is sound patterning.The main forms of sound patterns are:alliteration,assonance,reversed rhyme,and consonant patterning.,The

41、 above sound patterns can either be used to form end rhymes or internal rhymes.When words rhyme at the end of the lines of a poem,it is end rhyme.When words rhyme within a single line,it is called internal rhyme.,The second aspect of poetry we will consider is the stress patterns of spoken English.S

42、tress is used to create rhythm(rhythmical effect).,Metre 韵律,What is meter?When stress is organized to form regular rhythms,the term used for it is metre.What is rhythm？Rhythm refers to the recurrence of sound.,What should you do to work out the metre of a poem?,Work out the number of syllables in a

43、line of a poem,Find out the stressed syllables,Work out the foot（音步）of a poemDecide on the types of metre,英语诗歌中的格律分析,T he rhythmic patterning of English verse is usually analyzed in terms of meter(韵律).And the analysis of meter of a poem consists of two steps:to examine the type of foot（音 步）it has;to

44、 see how many feet there are in a line.,Foot(音步):is a group of syllables forming a metrical unit,a unit of rhythm.It must contain at least one stressed syllable.Rhythm refers to any recurrence of motion or sound.In speech it is the natural rise and fall of language.Rhythm is reflected in foot and me

45、ter.meter：the number of feet in a line,Foot 音步,Foot is the unit of stressed and unstressed syllables which is repeated to form a rhythmic(metrical)pattern.The four main types of foot:Iamb（抑扬）Trochee(扬抑)Anapest(抑抑扬)Dactyl(扬抑抑),Iamb（抑扬）foot contains two syllables:an unstressed syllable followed by a s

46、tressed one e.g.1)And palm to palm is holy palmers kiss 2)In every cry of every man In every infants cry of fear 3)The chief defect of Henry King Was chewing little bits of string.,Trochee(扬抑)foot contains two syllables;the stressed syllable comes first.e.g.1)Peter Peter Pumpkin eater.2)Stood the ma

47、ize in all its beauty,Anapest(抑抑扬)foot contains three syllables;two unstressed syllables are followed with one stressed syllable.e.g.1)Without cause be he pleased,without cause be he cross;2)And the sheen（光泽）of their spear was like stars on the sea.,Dactyl(扬抑抑)foot contains three syllables;a stresse

48、d syllable is followed with two unstressed syllables e.g.1)Sing me a song of a lad that is gone 2）Take her up tenderly Lift her with care;3）One for the master,and one for the dame(夫人),The second step in analyzing the metre is to see how many feet there are in a line.Thus,we have:Monometer(单音步)Dimete

49、r（双）Trimeter（三）Tetrameter（四）Pentameter（五）Hexameter（六）Heptameter(七)Octameter（八）Nonameter（九）,Metrical Variation,The above is the basic metrical patterns.But if we try to work out the rhythm of a poem by rigidly applying a basic metrical pattern to it,we shall soon find it unnatural and seriously disto

50、rt the original meaning.,So we must take account the variation on the basic metrical pattern.For these variations have a strong communicative function and can create great aesthetic effect.Metrical variations include:leaving one foot without a strong stressputting two stresses in one footinverting a
