Mácha’s iamb and devices to weaken the conflict between language and meter
 Ibrahim, Robert ; Sgallová, K.
The paper follows up the results of structuralist verse theory (Roman Jakobson, Miroslav Červenka). The analysis of Mácha’s iamb used in his poem Máj (May, 1836) is based on observation of the relationship between the chosen meter and the language, and mainly on the explanation of the conflict between those two, which occurs when the first (therefore stressed) syllable of a polysyllabic word matches the weak (e.g. odd) position of the verse line. There are 87% of such lines in Máj, but in most of these cases the stressed syllable is occupying first verse position (or the position subsequent to caesura), which in Czech versification is seen as an acceptable alternative to the monosyllabic iambic incipit. Worthy of note is the morphological organisation of the unmetrical lines as well (such as preposition or prefix occupying weak position) – the preference of particular configurations may be seen as being the part of the author’s individual style.
