论新诗格律不可能实现的原因——兼论诗歌与口语的关系

Impossibility of Realization of Neo-Poetry Metrical Pattern

20世纪对新诗格律问题的探讨,大致有三种方式:一为坚持自由诗理论,即不要格律;一为试图通过对古典诗歌的研究,发现古今共同的规律,建立古今通用的理论;另外就是直接照搬西方诗歌的格律理论。但现代汉语与古代汉语的根本差别,即双音节与单音节的差别,最终促使现代汉语取代了古代汉语,新诗取代了古诗,使新诗固定的格律最终成为不可能。

The 21th century witnesses three approaches to metrical pattern of neo-poetry,one is free poetry theory of no metrical pattern, one is general theory of ancient and contemporary through study of classical poetry and revelation of their common rules, and one is borrowing of western poetry rules. The difference of bi-syllable and tri-syllable between modern Chinese and ancient Chinese makes the realization impossible of metrical pattern of neo-poetry.
