Abstract

This research, based on the support for the existence of 'Clitic Group', proves the 'Clitic Cadence' as the solid evidence to the point that music underlies poetic rhythm in the words or poetic lines which, in turn, underly speech rhythm. Through the relation of stress-beat and clitic cadence to musical schema, such as measure, motive and period, the study clarifes the figurations of cliticization, sometimes procliticized and sometimes encliticized, even if the former appears more often than the latter. Above all, this research puts emphasis on the separate position of clitics not criticized but positioned in strong positions in music, Finally, it suggests some use of clitics to teachers and learners of English for stress-beating for rhythmization of English.
