Using tools including natural language processing, web ontologies, similarity detection devices and machine learning, our contributors explore...
This volume presents a wide range of quantitative approaches to versification. It comprises various methodological perspectives ranging from simple descriptive statistics
to advanced machine learning methods (such as support vector machines, random forests or neural networks) as well as material covering a large span of time and languages: from ver...
The article deals with the connection between S. K. Neumann's and Jaroslav SeiFert's poetics. First, we briefly remind both inner and outer relations of these two authors, then we proceed to the level of versification. Our analysis of an ad hoc compiled corpus {Almanac of the Year J914, Brezina, Kar^sek, Neumann, Seifert, Sova, Theer) supports the...
The article deals with the use of prefixes in the Czech accentual syllabic trochee. We test a hypothesis raised by Miroslav Červenka, Květa Sgallová, and Petr Kaiser which states that some authors in the 19th century used prefixes to moderate rhythmical irregularities. In our analysis - based on automatic prefix recognition in a large body of poeti...

At the very beginning of the paper the authors briefly summarize the history of modern Czech theory of verse, proceeding thus to the scholars of the Prague Linguistic Circle, whose works are discussed further. Among others, the works of Roman Jakobson, Jan Mukarovsky, Kveta Sgallova, and Miroslav Cervenka are mentioned, which all share the concepti...
The paper explores the relationship of the frequency of parts of speech with i) the verse length, ii) literary genre (lyrics vs. epics) and iii) metre (trochee vs. iamb). For the purpose of this analysis, approximately 110,000 verse lines from a Czech poet Adolf Heyduk (1835–1923) have been processed, most of which rhyme. The analysis has demonstra...
