Abstract

In recent years, several systems of automated metric analysis of Spanish poetry have emerged. These systems rely on complex methods of syllabification and stress assignment, which use PoS-tagging libraries, whose computational cost is high. This cost increases with the calculation of metric ambiguities. However, it is possible to carry out an informative and accurate metric analysis without using these costly methods. We propose an algorithm that performs accurate scansion (number of syllables, stress pattern and type of verse) without syllabification. It addresses metric ambiguities and takes into account the hemistichs compensation. Our algorithm outperforms the current state of the art by 2% in fixed-metre poetry, and 25% in mixed-metre poetry. It also runs 21 and 25 times faster, respectively. Finally, a desktop application is offered as a tool for researchers of Spanish poetry.
