Verse meter organizes prominence-marking categories into isochronous and binary hierarchical rhythmic structures, subject to principles that are rooted in the faculty of language, stylized in verbal art, and manifested in a generalized and more abstract form in music and dance. This chapter outlines a theory of constraint-based generative metrics, and sketches out how it represents metrical structure and derives the typology of metrical systems. It illustrates the analysis of stress-based meters with Shakespeare’s blank verse, and it reviews the typology of quantitative meters with a view to showing that they have rhythmical properties and that they are built from the same foot types that are familiar from the phonological theory of stress. A final section discusses ways in which different musical traditions reconcile conflicts between phonology, verse meter, and musical rhythm in text-setting.
