- Abstract
- The proposed work aims to give a critical analysis of several modern theories, one way or another related to Latin or ancient Greek prosody and metrics and aimed mainly at formalizing the problem of quantitative rhythm. All the theories under consideration (A. Mester, J. Parsons, N. Fabba and M. Halle) are, to one degree or another, united by a single striving to eliminate the concept of "pestilence" and to derive the rhythm of quantitative verse from alternations of another kind - stresses, intensity peaks, dominant and recessive positions in the word, etc. The analysis carried out, however, shows that such a path can hardly be recognized as sufficiently justified and well combined with the well-known facts of the ancient Greek and Latin languages.
