Acoustic Study of Persian Rhythmic Structure : Poetry Vs. Prose

摘要

This work presents experimental findings of the Persian Rhythmic verse. In this study, the four acoustic constituents are used- duration, amplitude, and intensity for measuring the acoustic values of the Persian verse. One Persian verse is taken in a normal environment along with one Persian prose by one native speaker of Persian. The aim of this experimental study is to test for the presence of acoustic properties in verse system of Persian poetry and indeed the present study provides the instrumental evidence of the acoustical difference in the prose and the poetry of Persian language.
