He claimed that the number of such runs equals the word count divided by the mean syllables per word. Aoyama and Constable set out to prove this mathematically. 2. **[Isometric Lineation in English Texts: An Empirical and Mathematical Examination of its Character and Consequences](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/aoyama-1998-isometric-lineation-english-texts-empirical/)** *(1998)* The paper addresses a long-standing gap in poetics: readers can easily tell isometric verse from prose, but no one had measured the difference or described it mathematically. ## Co-authors here 1 co-author with a page, the most papers together first. - [Hideaki Aoyama](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hideaki-aoyama/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 2 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [1 citing paper with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/john-constable/cited-by/).
