Download Chapter (PDF) Notes for the Reader 1. In the commentary, four levels of explanation are distinguished graphically: a) The most important explanations for users of all audiences are set in regular type. Knowledge of Greek is not required here; Greek words are given in transliteration (exception: lemmata from LfgrE, see COM 41 [1]). b) More detailed explanations of the Greek text are set in medium type. These sections correspond to a standard philological commentary. c) Specific information on particular sub-fields of Homeric scholarship is set in small type. d) The ‘elementary section’, designed to facilitate an initial approach to the text especially for school and university students, appears beneath a dividing line at the foot of the page. The elementary section discusses Homeric word forms in particular, as well as prosody and meter. It is based on the ‘24 Rules Relating to Ho- meric Language’, to which reference is made with the abbreviation ‘R’. Particularly frequent phenomena (e.g. the lack of an augment) are not noted throughout, but are instead recalled every 50 verses or so. — Infor- mation relating to Homeric vocabulary is largely omitted; for this, the reader is referred to the specialized dictionaries of Cunliffe and Auten- rieth/Kaegi. Complex issues are addressed in the elementary section as well as in the main commentary; they are briefly summarized in the elementary section and discussed in greater detail in the main commentary. Such passages are marked in the elementary section with an arrow (↑). By contrast, references of the type ‘cf. 73n.’ in the elementary section refer to notes within the elementary section itself, never to the main com- mentary. 2. The chapters of the Prolegomena volume are cited by the following abbrevi- ations: CG/CH Cast of characters in the Iliad: Gods/Human Beings COM Introduction: Commenting on Homer FOR Formulaity and Orality G Grammar of Homeric Greek HT History of the Text M Homeric Meter (including prosody) MYC Homeric-Mycenaean Word Index NTHS New Trends in Homeric Schorlarship https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110610185-205 XII Iliad 4 xxxP Superscript ‘P’ following a term refers to the definitions of terms in ‘Homeric Poetics in Keywords’. STR Structure of the Iliad In addition: R refers to the ‘24 Rules Relating to Homeric Language’ in the present commentary (below, pp. 1 ff.). 3. Textual criticism The commentary is based on the Teubner text of M. L. West. In some pas- sages, the commentators favor decisions differing from that edition. In these cases, both versions of the lemma are provided; West’s text is shown first in square brackets, followed by the version favored in the commentary. 4. English lemmata The English lemmata in the commentary are taken from the translation of R. Lattimore. In places where the commentators favor a different render- ing, both versions of the lemma are provided; the rendering of Lattimore is shown first in square brackets, followed by the version favored in the commentary. 5. Quotations of non-English secondary literature Quotations from secondary literature originally written in German, French or Italian are given in English translation; in such cases, the bibliographic reference is followed by the notation ‘transl.’ In the case of terms that are especially important or open to misinterpretation, the original is given in square brackets. 6. Formulaic language On the model of ‘Ameis-Hentze(-Cauer)’, repeated verses and verse-halves are usually noted (on this, cf. COM 30). Other formulaic elements (verse beginning and verse end formulae in particular) are only highlighted to the extent necessary to convey an overall impression of the formulaic character of Homeric language. 7. Type-scenesP For each type-scene, the commentary provides at the appropriate place an ‘ideal version’ by compiling a cumulative, numbered list of all characteristic elements of the scene that occur in the Iliad and/or Odyssey; the numbers of the elements actually found in the passage in question are printed in bold. Each subsequent occurrence refers back to this primary treatment and uses numbering and bold print in accord with the same principle. Notes for the Reader XIII 8.

  • Meter of Classical Arabic Poetry
    Pegs, Cords, and Ghuls: Meter of Classical Arabic Poetry Hazel Scott Haverford College Department of Linguistics, Swarthmore College Fall 2009 There are many reasons to read poetry, filled with heroics and folly, sweeping metaphors and engaging rhymes. It can reveal much about a shared cultural history and the depths of the human soul; for linguists, it also provides insights into the nature of language itself. As a particular subset of a language, poetry is one case study for understanding the use of a language and the underlying rules that govern it. This paper explores the metrical system of classical Arabic poetry and its theoretical representations. The prevailing classification is from the 8th century C.E., based on the work of the scholar al-Khaliil, and I evaluate modern attempts to situate the meters within a more universal theory. I analyze the meter of two early Arabic poems, and observe the descriptive accuracy of al-Khaliil’s system, and then provide an analysis of the major alternative accounts. By incorporating linguistic concepts such as binarity and prosodic constraints, the newer models improve on the general accessibility of their theories with greater explanatory potential. The use of this analysis to identify and account for the four most commonly used meters, for example, highlights the significance of these models over al-Khaliil’s basic enumerations. The study is situated within a discussion of cultural history and the modern application of these meters, and a reflection on the oral nature of these poems. The opportunities created for easier cross-linguistic comparisons are crucial for a broader understanding of poetry, enhanced by Arabic’s complex levels of metrical patterns, and with conclusions that can inform wider linguistic study.* Introduction Classical Arabic poetry is traditionally characterized by its use of one of the sixteen * I would like to thank my advisor, Professor K.

  • The Poetry Handbook I Read / That John Donne Must Be Taken at Speed : / Which Is All Very Well / Were It Not for the Smell / of His Feet Catechising His Creed.)
    Introduction his book is for anyone who wants to read poetry with a better understanding of its craft and technique ; it is also a textbook T and crib for school and undergraduate students facing exams in practical criticism. Teaching the practical criticism of poetry at several universities, and talking to students about their previous teaching, has made me sharply aware of how little consensus there is about the subject. Some teachers do not distinguish practical critic- ism from critical theory, or regard it as a critical theory, to be taught alongside psychoanalytical, feminist, Marxist, and structuralist theor- ies ; others seem to do very little except invite discussion of ‘how it feels’ to read poem x. And as practical criticism (though not always called that) remains compulsory in most English Literature course- work and exams, at school and university, this is an unwelcome state of affairs. For students there are many consequences. Teachers at school and university may contradict one another, and too rarely put the problem of differing viewpoints and frameworks for analysis in perspective ; important aspects of the subject are omitted in the confusion, leaving otherwise more than competent students with little or no idea of what they are being asked to do. How can this be remedied without losing the richness and diversity of thought which, at its best, practical criticism can foster ? What are the basics ? How may they best be taught ? My own answer is that the basics are an understanding of and ability to judge the elements of a poet’s craft. Profoundly different as they are, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Pope, Dickinson, Eliot, Walcott, and Plath could readily converse about the techniques of which they are common masters ; few undergraduates I have encountered know much about metre beyond the terms ‘blank verse’ and ‘iambic pentameter’, much about form beyond ‘couplet’ and ‘sonnet’, or anything about rhyme more complicated than an assertion that two words do or don’t.

  • Verb-Initial Clauses in Ancient Greek Prose
    Verb-Initial Clauses in Ancient Greek Prose: A Discourse-Pragmatic Study by Tom Recht A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Andrew J. Garrett, Chair Professor Gary B. Holland Professor Donald J. Mastronarde Spring 2015 Abstract Verb-Initial Clauses in Ancient Greek Prose: A Discourse-Pragmatic Study by Tom Recht Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor Andrew Garrett, Chair Word order in Ancient Greek, a ‘free word order’ or discourse-configurational language, depends largely on pragmatic and information-structural factors, but the precise nature of these factors is still a matter of some controversy (Dik 1995, Matić 2003). In this dissertation, I examine the set of constructions in which a verb appears in first position in its clause, and consider the conditions under which such constructions appear and the roles they play in structuring Greek discourse. I distinguish between topical and focal initial verbs, and show that the former class (which are the main concern of the study) in fact occur as part of larger units definable in terms of both prosody and pragmatics. The function of such units, I argue, is to mark specific kinds of transitions between the implicit questions that structure discourse (Questions Under Discussion [QUDs], Roberts 1996). I describe and categorize the types of QUD transitions marked by verb-initial units in a corpus of five fifth-and fourth-century Greek prose authors, and relate these to transitions marked by other classes of constructions, including a newly identified contrastive-topic construction.

    NordMetrik 2018 Abstracts Thursday 13 September Location: University Campus Plenary session Room B4 Södra huset (Main Building) 12:45–13:45 Furuseth, Sissel University of Oslo "The hammer blows in the mountain came": Tomas Tranströmer interpreting Edvard Grieg Music is one of the key topics in the works of the Nobel Prize winner Tomas Tranströmer. Many of his poems have titles associated with music, and some are biographical commentaries on composers such as Schubert, Liszt, Wagner, and Grieg (cf. Bergqvist 2013). In “An Artist in the North” (Bells and Tracks, 1966) it is as if the poet is putting a mask on his face pretending to be Edvard Grieg. By doing so the poem explicitly points at a connection between poetry and music. The lecture will address the question of how this connection may be traced in the very structure of the poem. The observations will provide a basis for a theoretical discussion of how readers attribute meaning (or not) to sound patterns in versified text. 13:45–14:00 Break Session 1 Room D499 Södra huset (Main Building) 14:00–14:30 Skulacheva, Tatyana Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) Molina, Maria Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) 1 Rudik, Nadezhda Georg-August-Universität (Germany, Göttingen) Sideltsev, Andrey Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) How to study Rhyme and Rhythm in Sumerian and Hittite?

  • Tennyson, A. Mary F. Robinson, and Classical Meter
    Polymetrical Dissonance: Tennyson, A. Mary F. Robinson, and Classical Meter Ben GlAseR hat did A. Mary F. Robinson learn from her work as a translator of WGreek, Greek meter, and from her study of classical prosody more generally? What expressive possibilities did she garner from the study of a language whose prosody bears little to no resemblance to english, and whose adoption threatens to become less boon than boondoggle? What she learns, I will argue, is the power of irregulari ty and dissonance, of an english prosody which diverges from english metrical tradition and yet somehow remains rhythmically forceful. But beyond the technical achievement of her metrical translations, Robinson finds in her complex new prosodic technique a means of interrogating both her aesthetic and personal relationship to the world. Robinson’s re-tuning of english meter, ordered in particular through Greek choral meters and latin hendecasyllabics, diverges sharply from then contemporary accounts of both meter’s form and its function. This essay will show how Robinson discovers the linguistic possibility of creating a form of metrical strain by importing classical schemes and bringing them into contact with traditional iambic meters; it shows, furthermore, how this strain is anticipated (sometimes nervously) by contemporary prosodists like Coventry Patmore and John Addington symonds. The possibility of this dis- sonant prosodic form, adapted from classical meters, emerges in Victorian poetry most forcefully perhaps with Tennyson’s experiments with quantita- tive verse; while Robinson follows his example, inviting the kind of metrical strain found in Tennyson’s satirical and self-referential adoption of classical meters, she ultimately expands the value of this strain beyond the genre of riposte.

    PROSODY: Rudiments Del Bello 2017 PROSODY: OED DEFINITION The science of versification; that part of the study of language which deals with the forms of metrical composition; OED v. prosody One way to approach English verse ACCENTUAL-SYLLABIC PROSODY from Classical Latin Some scholars (eg: Derek Attridge The Rhythms of English Poetry) feel that classical prosody applied to English is inadequate and should be replaced. IDEAS and METER • In the moment of composition, one of the central concerns of the poet is arrangement of metric pattern to achieve some kind of musicality. • Impulse toward order while allowing deviation WHY METER? WHO CARES ABOUT METER? 3 objectives: (1) increase your sensitivity to the formal properties of poetry (i.e. what sounds do) (2) heighten your pleasure and illumination in reading poetry (3) understand PROSODY (=features that have to do with how you read out verses) How does meter work? How does it mean/create meaning? • It is often a sort of ritualistic framing (metered language is different from ordinary language and thus “framed” as an artistic artifice) • It often presents variations. Departure from expected metrical norms can create an emotional effect or possibly estrangement. • It may create PROSODIC TENSION (between perfect or ideal metrical pattern and the actual rhythm) • It may have HISTORICAL MEMORY. Having been associated to a certain genre of poetry, a given meter may retain some of the meaning(s) associated to that poetry. What does meter do? • Focuses reader’s attention and refines awareness • Induces hypnosis (meter in most accentual poetry is slightly faster than the normal heart beat exhilarating effect) • Has physiological or possibly sexual overtones.

    On the Alleged Three Mediaeval Metagrammatisms Young, Douglas Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Spring 1966; 7, 1; ProQuest pg. 5 Notes on the Text of Pindar Douglas Young I On the Alleged Three Mediaeval Metagrammatisms N HIS Histoire du texte de Pindare (Paris 1952), J. Irigoin consecrates I a chapter (XI, pp. 123-134) to his theory that the text of the odes underwent in the Middle Ages three successive transliterations or metagrammatisms from uncials to minuscules. If true, this would be most unusual for a pagan author, for a pagan text normally was transmitted through a single metagrammatism. Irigoin writes (p. 125): "Les fautes graphiques causees par la confusion des lettres onciales ne sont jamais nombreuses.

(Note that Irigoin cites by cola: the Bowra line references are 0 10.43 and 06.105).
