英语诗歌的韵律教学提纲

1、英语诗歌的韵律精品文档英语诗歌的韵律（metre）英诗节奏（Rhythm） 构成英诗节奏的基础是韵律（metre）。在希腊语中，metre”这个字 是“尺度标谁）”的意思。英诗就是根据诗行中的音节和重读节奏作为“尺度标准）”来计算韵律的。英诗的特点之一是与其他文体不同的排列格式。各诗行不达到每 页页边，每行开始词首大写。几行成为一节（stanza）,不分段落。各 行都要讲究一定的音节数量，行末押韵或不押韵，交错排列。音节重读stressed）非重读（unstressed） 这就是一种正规 的重读形式，在诗歌中即体现为韵律。研究诗歌韵律规则的科学叫 作韵律学（Prosody）。.音步（Foot）

2、:英诗中这种重读与非重读音节的特殊性组合叫作音步。一个音步的音节数量可能为两个或三个音节，但不能少于两个或多于三个音 节，而且其中只有一个必须重读。分析英诗的格律就是将它划分成音步，并区分出是何种音步以及计算音步的数量。这种音步划分叫 scansion根据一首英诗组成的音步数量，每一诗行一个音步称“单 音步”（monometer）;每一诗行有两个音步的，称“双音步”（dimeter）; 含有三个音步的，称“三音步” （trimeter）；此外还有四音步（tetrameter）、五音步、（pentameter、六音步（hexameter、七音步 （heptameter、音步（octometer）

(Herrick).韵律(Metre):英诗的韵律是依据音步包含音节的数量及重读音节的位置而加以 区分的。传统英诗的音步有六种：即:抑扬格(Lambus)、扬抑格 (Trochee)、抑抑扬格(Anapaest)、扬抑抑格(Dactyl)及： 扬抑抑格 (Dactyl)及抑扬抑格(Amphibrach):非重读音节；重读音节。英诗的韵(rhyme)英语诗歌的押韵可以根据单词的内音素重复的部位不同而分成不同种类，最常见的有头韵(Allite

4、ration )、谐元韵(Assonance) 和 尾韵(Rhyme)。头韵指词首重复，如great和grew;谐元韵是指 词中重读元音重复，如great和fail;尾韵则指词尾音素重复，如 great和bait。但一行诗中可能同时存在多种押韵形式：The light that lies in womens eyes. -Thomas Moore这行诗中既有头韵light和lies,谐元韵light、lies、eyes,又有且有尾韵(这种押韵方式称行中韵middle rhyme) lies和eyes收集于网络，如有侵权请联系管理员删除精品文档英语诗歌的行与行之间的押韵格式称韵法（rhyming

5、 schemed。常见有两行转韵（AABB ）、隔行押韵（ABCB ）、隔行交互押韵 （ABAB）和交错押韵（ABBA）。英诗体例：十四行诗（sonnet）:过去也曾音译为商籁诗。十四行，抑扬格，五音步用作全诗的形式。首先出现于意大利，16世纪中传入英国，为伊丽莎白时代（伊丽莎白一世在位时期为1558 1603）文人所 宠爱，莎士比亚、斯宾塞及西德尼（Sidney注都写下过著名的十四行 诗。18世纪十四行诗曾受到冷落。但后又被浪漫派诗人济慈、沃兹 沃斯等人所复兴，以后许多诗人也多所采用。英国十四行诗有两种 类型： 意大利式（Petrarvhan）及莎士比业式（Shakesperoan）（英国

6、式）。A.意大利式十四行诗：模仿意大利诗人皮特拉克（Petrarch）所创的样式，由两部分组成：第一部分八行（The Octave）,由两个四行诗 体（Quatrains）M成，韵脚是abbaabba第二部分六行（The Sestet）韵 脚可有不同形式。按严格的意大利十四行诗体，在前八行结尾诗意 应告一段落，而后六行又转入新的诗意。B.莎士比亚式十四行诗：由三个四行诗体组成，韵脚交替进行。最后是押韵的双行诗体。整个韵脚是 ababcdcdefefgg在莎士比 亚式十四行诗中意境一气呵成，直到最后双行体，为全诗高潮。除 莎士比亚外，其他诗人也采用此种形式。收集于网络，如有侵权请联系管理员删除精
