Meters in Chinese Verse

This project documents the range of meter types in Chinese verse, especially modern folk verse. It will also discuss why some meter types are found but others do not, and why some meter types are more common than others.

Here is a corpus of regulated Tang poems (788 lines). I have annotated the syntax and word categories by hand. An analysis is offered in Duanmu (2004 in Phonology).

Sounds and Features

This is a project on feature theory, with a focus on features as contrastive gestures and their time alignment in different phonological positions (e.g. onset vs. coda).
