Literature talk:The Internationale: Difference between revisions

It goes without saying that the selection of meters depends heavily on the stage of Wiobian in question. Classical Wiobian meter relies on accentual meters, which are sequences of feet, almost exclusively trochaic or iambic. Scansion tends to shift in late Classical poetry to the number of accented syllables, which corresponds to the number of syllables in modern Wiobian. Thus post-classical, vernacular Wiobian meter is scanned only on the basis of the number of syllables. On the other hand, caesurae are more frequently used.
