Phonological Analysis on Sprung Rhythm

Hopkins’ Sprung Rhythm is probably a perplexing case of meter from the view of conventional meter. But Sprung Rhythm is said to be the most natural and rhythmical meter for recitation. I have shown that the metrical positions in Sprung Rhythm are based on a mora foot. In Sprung Rhythm, a line consists of a fixed number of strong positions alternating with weak ones. I have suggested the following rules for each position and outrides. 1) A strong position must contain a mora foot. 2) A weak position contains at most a mora foot(M or ρ). 3) If a weak position contains more than amore foot, the syllables after a strong position become an outride except for a mora foot. 4) The mora foot of sprung rhythm is formed by the following ranking :NOCODA 》S → M 》NONFINALITY. Outrides form a rhythmic unit with its preceding strong position to maintain only one mora foot in a weak position. This rhythmization causes sprung rhythm to be more abrupt than conventional meter.
