prosody
Let an agent explain prosody in both linguistic and poetic senses, relay features, analysis and metrical systems from phonetics and literary sources, describe applications in speech technology and clinical practice, and distinguish prosody from phonemes, grammar and rhyme.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain prosody in both linguistic and poetic senses, relay features, analysis and metrical systems from phonetics and literary sources, describe applications in speech technology and clinical practice, and distinguish prosody from phonemes, grammar and rhyme.
The patterns of rhythm, stress, intonation, tempo and pausing in spoken language, which convey emphasis, emotion, sentence type and structure beyond the words themselves, studied in phonetics and phonology, and in poetics the study of metre and versification, including metrical principles such as quantitative and accentual metre, Arabic prosody with its classical metres, and phenomena such as epic lengthening in Homeric Greek; prosody is also important in speech technology and in clinical assessment of speech.
What it is for: Not applicable; a linguistic and poetic domain.
It can be explain the senses; relay features and metres; describe applications; distinguish related concepts.
Distinguishing features
Suprasegmental
Conveys meaning and emotion
Metrical systems
Language-specific
What it looks like
Not a visible object; patterns of speech sound.
Physical character
prosodic features: pitch, duration, loudness list
Arabic classical metres: 16 count - al-Khalil system
How it is recognised
Rhythm, stress and intonation of speech; metre in verse
Speech rhythm, intonation, metrical principles, Arabic prosody, epic lengthening
Phonemes are segments; rhyme is sound correspondence at line ends; grammar is structure

- How should phonetics and literary sources be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases from linguistics and poetics; should they be split off?
