Greetings..

I am currently looking at the possibility of applying the Generative Theory of  
Tonal Music (Lerdahl and Jackendoff, 1983) to a theory of poetic metrics.  I  
have discovered a 1990 (pub. 1991 in "Music, Language, Speech, and Brain")  
paper by Lerdahl and Halle entitled "Some lines of poetry viewed as music"  
which attempts to do just that, but it is quite sketchy and leaves a lot of  
development to future research.

So, my question is this: who else is working on this idea?  Are there any more  
recent publications than this?  The thing that is frustrating about the "Some  
lines of poetry" paper is that it seems quite clear that Lerdahl and Halle have  
more to say on the subject, but were constrained by the conference requirements  
on paper length (At one point, they say: "Although it has been beyond our scope  
to develop rules here, we have a good idea what they are.").  Did they ever  
publish a more detailed paper?  I don't have access to very many Linguistics  
journals through which to browse, so if something has appeared in the last  
year, I may well have missed it.

Anyway, any information would be gratefully received..
