| Abstract | ||
| This study is an attempt to explore rhythm as phonological unit that reflects poetic image through the analysis of Poe's Raven. This study proceeds on the hypothesizes that the sound patterns of a poem contribute a great deal to build the poet's point of view or world. This study is an attempt to investigate the rhythm as a phonological unit and poetic structure (feature) in selective lines of Poe's Raven. This study focuses on sound devices in these selective lines such as rhyme, alliteration, repetition, onomatopoeia and its relation to the rhythm as a phonological unit and poetic feature. It also focuses on phonological and poetic analysis of these lines. The analysis of these lines will show phonological and poetic structure in selective words in each lines of Poe's Raven. Typically, rhythmical aspects seem to have a variety of phonological and poetic functions. | ||
