The problems of accentuation in A.Maldonis poetry

Proclitics and enclitics are not explored very well in lithuanian poetry. Linguists which studied lithuanian (unpoetical) discource states that it is not possible to determine precisely which words can be considered as clitics. The main goal of this work is to analyse which words in poetry are usually adjoined. The material of this research consists of A. Maldonis syllabic-accentual versification verses. On the basis of this versification regular stressed and unstressed syllables recurrence it is determined which word are stressed or are not stressed. On these results statistic analysis has been made. This research is not purely unprejudiced by the reason that in loudly declaimed poetry different accentuation laws can be shown. By this reason another research was made: dictaphone was used to record the same poet loudly declaimed poetry. Aurally (on the basis of 12 listeners answers) it was determined which words are stressed or are not stressed. On these results statistical analysis has been made. Syllabic-accentual versification laws shows that mostly adjoined are monosyllabic prepositions (98%), conjunctions (98%), particles (91%), adverbials (86%). Less highly adjoined are pronouns (56%) and verbs (33%). Between disyllabic parts of speech mostly adjoined are prepositions (100%) and particles (78%). In A. Maldonis loudly declaimed poetry mostly adjoined are prepositions (100%), conjunctions (99%), particles (85%), adverbials (79%). Less highly adjoined are pronouns (50%), verbs (25 %). Between disyllabic parts of speech mostly adjoined are prepositions (100%) and conjunctions (80%).Švietimo akademijaVytauto Didžiojo universiteta
