ictus and nonictus - not how much.ДЎ3- ChildвЂ™s linguistic researches are largely responsible for how Chaucerian grammar, pronunciation, and scansion are now generally understood.ДЎ4- However, Jespersen did not fully integrate his notation (even to the level implied by the scansions above).ДЎ5- This is a case in which 2-level scansion is felt to miss something essential even by some rather strict prosodists.ДЎ6- This often makes scansion (the analysis of metrical patterns) seem unduly arcane and arbitrary to students of the craft.ДЎ7- The Internet also provides tools like Latin spell checkers for contemporary Latin writers, or scansion tools for contemporary Latin poets.ДЎ8- Most authors manage to get the rhymes right, but the scansion is sometimes lacking thereвЂ™s no such problem here.ДЎ9- Wilfred OwenвЂ™s famous poem, quoted above, incorporated Horatian text to question patriotism while ignoring the rules of Latin scansion. I like the subtle scansion in the Scarlatti aria.ДЎ0- To understand any form of scansion, it is necessary to appreciate the difference between meter and rhythm.ДЎ1- This metrical scansion does not attempt to show the various rhythmic features that would occur in a competent reading.ДЎ2- Strictly speaking, scansion marks which syllables are metrically prominent - i.e. Д¦- Metrical scansion explicitly requires a 2-level notation.Д§- Minimally, graphic scansion requires only 2 symbols, designating ictic and non-ictic syllables.ДЁ- Over the years, many different systems have been established to mark the scansion of a poem.Д©- I really enjoy listening to Arcadia. ДҐ- This is the notation preferred by the for Wikipedia articles displaying scansion. The program uses open-source components and is released under the GNU GPL license.4- Prosodists seldom explicitly state what they are marking in their scansions. We also present a brief evaluation of the system using a gold standard corpus of human-scanned verse, on which a per-syllable accuracy of 86.78% is reached. The scanner also classifies its input according to the predominant type of metrical foot found. The system's workflow is composed of several subtasks designed around finite state machines that analyze verse by performing tokenization, part of speech tagging, stress placement, and unknown word stress pattern guessing. Scansion is the traditional task of analyzing the lines of a poem, marking the stressed and non-stressed elements, and dividing the line into metrical feet.

We present a finite state technology based system capable of performing metrical scansion of verse written in English.
