- anigbrowl 12y agoThat's true, but that's also why it doesn't work. Think about the stress patterns that actually constitute rhythm: momENtum, SYNcoPATion, RHYthm and PATtern ___--___ ---__---___ ---___ ___ ---____ Nonomatapoeia, I fear.
- teamonkey 12y agoI 'hear' only one stress in each. moMENtum [beat] syncoPATion [beat] rhythm-and-PATtern [no beat so continues straight on] And all three patterns, including the beat, take the same time, with the remainder of the sentence continuing at the same speed as PATtern.
