The works of Sappho and Alcaeus, 7th–6th century BC lyric poets from the island of Lesbos, represent the Aeolic tradition of ancient Greek poetry. In this paper, two metrical structures of this tradition, that both have two quantity-free positions (anceps, brevis in longo), are analysed and compared with regard to the quantitative tendencies of these positions. The first metrical structure, the Sapphic hendecasyllable, was used by both poets; the other, aiolikon, is not attested in Alcaeus’s work. The analysed corpus consists of all the survived lines in these meters. Due to the fragmentary nature of the material, the statistical analysis is presented in two sets to add and include the data of the Sapphic and Alcaic lines about which there is a suspicion that they may be in these meters, and also to differentiate dubious data from the undubious. In addition, the statistical data of the quantitative tendencies of the undubious lines is also expressed with generative models. In general, all the free positions, except the ancipites of Sappho’s aiolikon, display a preference for heavy syllables and the preference is more pronounced in the brevis in longo position, especially when it comes to aiolikon. Comparing the hendecasyllables, Alcaeus tends to have more heavy syllables than Sappho. Aiolikon’s free positions exhibit the biggest quantitative contrast.

女同性恋诗歌中萨福式的十音节和萨福式的艾奥利康的韵律结构

来自莱斯博斯岛的公元前 7 世纪至 6 世纪的抒情诗人 Sappho 和 Alcaeus 的作品代表了古希腊诗歌的 Aeolic 传统。在本文中，分析了这一传统的两个韵律结构，它们都有两个无量的位置（anceps，brevis in longo），并就这些位置的数量趋势进行了比较。两位诗人都使用了第一个韵律结构，即 Sapphic hendecasyllable。另一个，aiolikon，在阿尔凯乌斯的作品中没有得到证实。分析的语料库由这些仪表中所有幸存的行组成。由于材料的碎片性，统计分析分为两组，以添加和包括怀疑它们可能在这些米中的萨福和阿尔凯线的数据，并区分可疑数据与毫无疑问的。此外，不确定线的量化趋势的统计数据也用生成模型表示。一般来说，除了 Sappho 的 aiolikon 的 ancipites 之外，所有的自由位置都显示出对重音节的偏好，并且偏好在 longo 位置的短时更为明显，尤其是在 aiolikon 方面。比较 hendecasyllables，Alcaeus 的音节往往比 Sappho 重。Aiolikon 的自由仓位表现出最大的数量对比。尤其是在 aiolikon 方面。比较 hendecasyllables，Alcaeus 的音节往往比 Sappho 重。Aiolikon 的自由仓位表现出最大的数量对比。尤其是在 aiolikon 方面。比较 hendecasyllables，Alcaeus 的音节往往比 Sappho 重。Aiolikon 的自由仓位表现出最大的数量对比。
