České hlásky ve versologických metaforách vzestupnosti (jambu) a sestupnosti (trocheje)
Czech phones in versological metaphors of ascendance (iambs) and descendance (trochees)

Summary/Abstract: Subjectivity in the rhythm of a lyrical idea is manifested in two different, yet parallel rhythmic spaces. The more passive and sensually objectivized linear rhythm of a lyrical idea, which is created by the movement of perception in the opposition of positive-value (upward-outward) and negative-value (downward-inward) spatial orientations (i.e. in iamb and trochee metaphors). More active and emotionally subjectivized is the space of the non-linear rhythm (atmosphere) of a lyrical idea, which is formed by the movement of perception in the opposition of positive-value (pleasantlightly temperamentally colored-active) and negative-value (unpleasant-darkly temperamentally colored-passive) emotive orientations. This article continues in the tradition of the author’s research on the emotive perception of Czech phones and it examines, using a set of 400 Czech speakers, whether we can administer the “syllabic” metaphors of iamb and trochee at the level of the phoneme.
