metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Although the corpus of poetic inscriptions in younger runes has in the main been established
  in early Scandinavian scholarship, the structure and formulaic character of inscriptions
  have not yet been subjected to detailed research. In the paper, the structure
  of poetic runic texts has been described in the light of the hypothesis of the isochrony
  of bars, admitting an occasional lengthening of short syllables and shortening of long
  syllables. The formulaic structure is most clearly seen in the younger runic inscriptions
  on memorial stones. The formula is based on a constant alliterating pair (cf., for example,
  standa ‘to stand’ — steinn ‘stone’), whose elements occupy different short lines, cf.
  Hēr mun standa / steinn nær brautu ‘Here will stand a stone by the road.’ The varyable
  parts of the formula occupy the beginning of the first short line and the end of the
  second short one. Hēr mun can be replaced by prosodically equivalent and semantically
  similar combinations Nū skal, Hēr skal, Æ mun, and nær brautu ‘by the road’ can
  be replaced by the prosodically equivalent and semantically similar viðr bryggju ‘by the
  bridge’, ą bjargi ‘on the mountain’, miþli byja ’between villages’, at merki ‘as a monument’,
  at Ingjald ‘after Ingvald’. The paper also addreses some other most common
  formulas based on alliterating pairs. Refs 24.
