The meter imposes strict distributional constraints on tone and<br clear='none'\/>\nweight in stressed syllables. The stress-modulated nature of tone and weight mapping places the epic<br clear='none'\/>\ndecasyllable in the category of hybrid meters of the interactive type (in the sense of Ryan 2017). The<br clear='none'\/>\ncontribution is twofold: we demonstrate that hybrid meters can display multiple interactive mappings in<br clear='none'\/>\nparallel (in this case, stress-weight and stress-tone) and offer evidence for stress-tone interaction,<br clear='none'\/>\npreviously undocumented in hybrid meters. This is also, to our knowledge, the first demonstration of<br clear='none'\/>\ntone-sensitivity in an Indo-European meter. We provide a MaxEnt model for the epic decasyllable.<br clear='none'\/>\nBuilding on recent work in MaxEnt metrics (Hayes & Schuh 2019; Henriksson 2022), we discuss different<br clear='none'\/>\nmethods for incorporating ordinary language baselines in MaxEnt analyses of metered verse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Aljo\u009aa Milenkovi?
