The Metrics of Children's Verse: A Cross-Linguistic Study

Nursery rhymes in many languages consist of verses of four lines, and each line has four major “beats.” The beats are spaced evenly in time and are usually marked by syllables with stress or with some other phonological distinction that sets them off from surrounding syllables, but rests occur in a few beat positions. Each language has its own special characteristics within this general pattern, but the similarities between languages seem greater for nursery rhymes than for more elaborate forms of poetry. It seems difficult to attribute the cross-linguistic similarities to anything except our common humanity.
