The first sonnets in Estonian language were published almost 650 years after this verse form was invented by Federico da Lentini in Sicily, in the late of 19th century. Sonnet form became instantly very popular in Estonia and has since remained the most important fixed form in Estonian poetry. Despite its widespread presence over time the last comprehensive research on Estonian sonnet was written in 1938. This article has a twofold aim. First, it will give an overview of the incidence of Estonian sonnets from its emergence in 1881 until 2015. The data will be studied from the diachronic perspective; in calculating the popularity of the sonnet form in Estonian poetry through the years, the number of the sonnets published each year has been considered in relation to the amount of published poetry books. The second aim is to outline through the statistical analyses Estonian sonnets formal patterns: rhyme schemes and meter. The sonnet’s original meter, hendecasyllable, is tradionally translated into Estonian as iambic pentameter. However, over the time various meters from various verse systems (accentual, syllabic, syllabic-accentual, free verse) have been used. The data of various meters used in Estonian sonnets will also be examined on the diachronic axis. I have divided the history of Estonian sonnets into eight parts: the division is not based only on time, but also space: post Second World War Estonian sonnet (as the whole culture) was divided into two, Estonian sonnet abroad, i. e in the free world, and sonnet in Soviet Estonia. The material for this study includes all the published sonnets in Estonian language, i.e almost 4400 texts.

爱沙尼亚十四行诗的模式：分期，发生率，米和韵

19世纪末，费德里科·达·伦蒂尼（Federico da Lentini）在西西里岛发明了这种诗歌形式，在大约650年之后，才用爱沙尼亚语出版了十四行诗。十四行诗形式立即在爱沙尼亚变得非常流行，并且自那以后一直是爱沙尼亚诗歌中最重要的固定形式。尽管它随着时间的流逝而广泛存在，但有关爱沙尼亚十四行诗的最新综合研究还是写于1938年。本文有双重目的。首先，它将概述从1881年出现到2015年的爱沙尼亚十四行诗的发病率。在多年来计算十四行诗形式在爱沙尼亚诗歌中的流行度时，已考虑了每年出版的十四行诗的数量与出版的诗歌书籍的数量有关。第二个目的是通过统计分析来概述爱沙尼亚十四行诗的形式模式：韵律和韵律。该十四行诗的原始计量表，可折音，传统上被翻译成爱沙尼亚语的五音五度计。然而，随着时间的流逝，已经使用了来自各种诗歌系统的各种计量表（重音，音节，音节-重音，自由诗）。爱沙尼亚十四行诗中使用的各种仪表的数据也将在历时轴上进行检查。我将爱沙尼亚十四行诗的历史分为八个部分：划分不仅基于时间，而且还基于空间：二战后爱沙尼亚十四行诗（作为整个文化）在国外被分为两个，即爱沙尼亚十四行诗。e在自由世界中，十四行诗在苏联爱沙尼亚中。该研究的材料包括所有以爱沙尼亚语出版的十四行诗，即近4400篇文本。
