Dear Ust. Ibaa
This is the first time I read that iambic and trochee are quantitative.
You feel the basically quantitative Arabic and the stress based English meters .
1- Does Mr Luke when he speaks of the quantitative nature of iambs and trochees mean quantitative as we feel it in Arabic, or some sort of quantitative that we may not feel. Do you feel quantitative?
2- It is to be noted that he differentiated between iambs = 1 2 and trochees 2 1 on one hand and pyrrhic = 11 =(2) , spondees 2 2, anapests 1 1 2 =(2) 2 and dactylic 2 1 1 = 2 (2)
I used the Arabic symbol to bring to the awareness of the Arabic reader the role that numerical prosody reveals the similarities and analogies between seemingly two too far away meters.
Iambs = 12 ~ watid majmoo' , trochees = 21~ watid mafrroq both having the odd figure 1
All the other feet being even composed of twos ~ sababs lie within the description Arabic khabab
Mr. Lukes description :Is very profound and important.
but not the trisyllabic feet anapaests (di-di-DUM) and dactyls (DUM-di-di) as all three stresses are evenly weighted in terms of rhythm
“Evenly weighted in terms of rhythm” attadaffoq alkhababi – in Arabic
That he considers 1 1 2 as trisyllabic , in contrast to Arabic khabab were they are considered (2) 2 just two syllables is a matter of idiom that does not affect the essence .
As if English has two parts :
A- Iambic and trochaic overlapping to a crtain degree with quantitative meter like Latin and Arabic
B- The rest overlapping to a certai degree with syllabic meter like French.
How encouraging is numerical prosody to enable one to talk of the meter of languages he does not know.
