Chaucer教學講解課件20Chaucer教學講解課件20音步(Foot)：英詩中重讀與非重讀音節的特殊性組合叫作音步。一個音步的音節數量可能為兩個或三個音節，但不能少于兩個或多于三個音節，而且其中只有一個必須重讀。Fro-mfai*re-stcrea*ture-swe*de-sire*i-ncrea*se

上面“-”表示它前面是輕讀音節，而“*”則表示它前面是重讀音節。我們于是看出：上面的句子共有五個音步，每個音步都是由前輕讀后重讀的兩個音節組成，這樣的音節被稱為“抑揚格”。頗有點唐詩的“平仄”的味道，但又有本質上的不同。我們還看出：一個音步不必等于一個單詞。音步(Foot)：英詩中重讀與非重讀音節的特21音步(Foot)：英詩中重讀與非重讀音節的特2.HewasthefirstgreatpoetwhowroteinEnglishlanguage(MiddleEnglish),thusestablishingEnglishastheliterarylanguage.3.HedidmuchinmakingtheLondondialectthefoundationformodernEnglishlanguage.Chaucer教學講解課件22Chaucer教學講解課件22
