Meter and versification

These queries use the word-level metrical annotation for TXM. See Annotation 4: Syllables and Meter.

• Find all lines of verse with [ɔ] at the rhyme

[phon=".*[^i]ɔi?[^aeiouyæɛɔUÆ]*" & metpos=".*r"] 

• Find cases of line-initial object pronouns, i.e. possible exceptions to the Tobler-Mussafia law:

• Find all paroxytones at the end of the line

[prosody=".po" & metpos=".*r"]

• Find all cases of epic caesura in decasyllables (Due to a bug in version 0.4 of the corpus not all instances are found; this will be corrected in a future release.)
