Abstract
Abstract In the preceding two parts of this monograph, attention has been focused upon the implications of language processing for language structure and change. A third area to which processing aspects can be applied is the structure of poetry, which is not identical to what is standardly referred to as’linguistic structure. The reason for this non-identity is simply that (traditional) poetry, in its accentuation of the formal side of language, employs devices which play a very limited role in everyday language use. The most salient of these devices is rhyming, which is highly characteristic of poetry but untypical of ordinary speaking.
