- Summary:
- The author states: "This book focuses on the 'English accent' of the Russian poet Joseph Brodsky...[who] was able to import certain English features into his Russian prosody long before becoming fluent in English....The subtle poetic foreign accent puzzled me for many years...." To study this phenomenon, Friedberg (linguistics, Portland State U., Oregon) combines the methods of generative phonology, biographical research, phonetics, statistics, and Russian verse theory.
