Abstract
Traditionally the question of word-final-e has been controversial in understanding Middle English alliterative poetry, and the meter has not been clearly fixed. Throughout scansion and classification of a limited corpus (586 lines) of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight(hereafter Gawain: N. Davis, 1967) found a coherent metrical pattern to explain the confusing -e in determining the metrics of reading in the text. A survey of the distribution of main metrical patterns shows that rhythmical patterns of two half-lines are mutually exclusive(91.1%). Evidence for the proposed syllabic structure suggests that the final -e was phonologically present at the end of long lines in the Gawain text, and that the final -e was an essential factor in fourteenth-century alliterative meter because the end of the a-verse allowed unstressed syllables to be optional, but the end of the b-verse had only an unstressed syllable (99.03%). Such text frequency says that the end of b-verse required one unstressed syllable: syllabic value of the final -e was there in the final syllable of the words at the ends of the alliterative long lines in Gawain. The implications of this as a result of interacting principles etymologically are summarized as follows: (1) the phonology of the (North) West Midlands alliterative poetry is more conservative than the standard grammars indicate and (2) the fourteenth-century alliterative long line is more highly regulated in its patterns of unstressed syllables than prosodists of the modern period have understood.
