- Abstract
- One particular characteristic of the Russian classical verse is its great rhythmic flexibility attributable to the high frequency of pyrrhic feet. This research seeks to account for the unprecedented rhythmical flexibility typical of the Russian iamb.The results of this study cast into doubt the popular notion that the prevalence of pyrrhic feet might be explained by the fact that Russian words have considerable length. By comparing the rhythmical development, which iambic pentameter underwent in Dutch, German, and Russian verse, it is possible to see that the level of rhythmical flexibility has not much to do with the average length of the rhythmic (phonetic) word in a language. It is clearly the specific historical origins of syllabotonic verse, which caused proliferation of pyrrhic feet in Russian verse.
