| Research Abstract |
The rhythmic structure of Emily Dickinson's poems has been said to defy generalizations because of its apparent complexity and irregularity. However, it is shown to be simple and regulated by a limited set of ranked Optimality-Theoretic constraints. In particular, four markedness constraints on the well-formedness of iambic verse lines are proposed which exhibit four different rankings. The constraints and their rankings enable us to reduce seemingly a large number of rhythmic patterns of her poems to only four patterns and prove to be plausible devices which can also capture the distribution of metrical inversion cases in other Modern English poems.
