Rhyme: Cognitive and Historical Poetics


This section of papers originated when I submitted a paper to Poetics Today, which eventually was published as

Reuven Tsur (1996) "Rhyme and Cognitive Poetics". Poetics Today 17: 55-87.

Although the (anonymous) reviewers recommended to publish it, one of them provided a six-page-long criticism expressing reservations from the cognitive approach. I added an (unpublished) longer "Postscript" enumerating and answering these objections. The paper "What can we Know about the Mediaeval Reader's Response to Rhyme?" is extracted from this controversy. This paper was published as

Reuven Tsur 1997 "What Can we Know about the Mediaeval Reader's Response to Rhyme?"
in Jean Perrot (ed.), Polyphonie pour Ivan Fonagy. Paris: Harmattan.

A Hebrew version of this paper was published as

Reuven Tsur (1997) "What Can we Know about the Mediaeval Reader's Response to Rhyme?"
in Avigdor Shinan (ed.) Jerusalem Studies in Hebrew Literature 16: 59-73.
