上面“-”表示它前面是輕讀音節(jié)，而“*”則表示它前面是重讀音節(jié)。我們于是看出：上面的句子共有五個(gè)音步，每個(gè)音步都是由前輕讀后重讀的兩個(gè)音節(jié)組成，這樣的音節(jié)被稱為“抑揚(yáng)格”。頗有點(diǎn)唐詩(shī)的“平仄”的味道，但又有本質(zhì)上的不同。我們還看出：一個(gè)音步不必等于一個(gè)單詞。音步(Foot)：英詩(shī)中重讀與非重讀音節(jié)的特21音步(Foot)：英詩(shī)中重讀與非重讀音節(jié)的特2.HewasthefirstgreatpoetwhowroteinEnglishlanguage(MiddleEnglish),thusestablishingEnglishastheliterarylanguage.3.HedidmuchinmakingtheLondondialectthefoundationformodernEnglishlanguage.Chaucer教學(xué)講解課件22Chaucer教學(xué)講解課件22
