Abstract

The first Romanian sonnet dates from 1810, and it is in the 19th Century when this poetic form was established within the metric repertoire in Romanian. This paper focuses on the creation of an exhaustive corpus of sonnets in Romanian language composed between 1810 and 1914. The contribution presents the conception, creation, methodology and some of the first results of the analysis of this 19th Century Romanian sonnets corpus. This work examines the rhythm used, syllabic patterns, as well as the stress in verses, to conclude with a practical application of one of the most recent theories that proposes the relation between tonicity and syllabic quantity. This study provides a detailed quantitative description of the metric characteristics of the Romanian sonnet in the 19th Century, aiming to help to the understanding of its particularities within the European context.
