The study of syllabic poem in the poetry of the 20th century in terms of tradition and innovation

Abstract

This article investigates the position of the syllabic meter (heca) within Azerbaijani poetry of the twentieth century as reflected in philological discourse. Particular attention is devoted to the ways in which scholarly research has addressed the principles ensuring the continuity of the syllabic meter as a persistent structural element in national poetic practice. The study further analyzes theoretical insights into the distinctive features of the syllabic meter’s dynamics in twentieth-century poetry and its logical continuation in contemporary verse. Finally, the discussion situates philological perspectives within the broader framework of tradition and innovation.
