Free Verse Prosodies: Identifying and Classifying Spoken Poetry Using Literary and Computational Perspectives (Rhythmicalizer)

  • At least 80% of modern and postmodern poems exhibit neither rhyme nor metrical schemes such as iamb or trochee. However, does this mean that they are free of any rhythmical features?TheUS American research onfree verse prosody claimsthe opposite: Modern poets like Whitman, the Imagists, the Beat poets and contemporary Slam poets have developed a postmetrical idea of prosody, using rhythmical features of everyday language, prose, and musical styles like Jazz or Hip Hop. It has spawned a large and complex variety intheir poetic prosodies which,however,appearto bemuchharderto quantify and regularize than traditional patterns. In our project, we examinethe largest portal for spoken poetry Lyrikline and analysed and classified such rhythmical patterns by using pattern recognition and classification techniques. We integrate a human-in-the-loop approach in which we interleave manual annotation with computational modelling and data-based analysis. Our results are integrated into the website of Lyrikline. Our follow-up project makes our research results available to a wider audience, in particular to high school-level teaching.
