Prosody

韵律学

Prosody signifies the systematic study of versification in poetry; that is, a study of the principles and practice of meter, rhyme, and stanza forms. Sometimes the term is extended to include also the study of speech-sound patterns and effects such as alliteration, assonance, euphony and onomatopoeia.

指对诗歌韵律的系统研究，即对格律、押韵和诗节的形式原理及其运用的研究。这一术语有时也包括对头韵、半谐音、谐音和拟声词等语音模式及其效果的研究。
