Chapter 6. Translating rhyme and rhythm
6.3.3 Runs-through
Despite differences in poem length, average number of runs-through per draft is
the same (3.0) for both poems. This again suggests that metacognitive manage-
ment strategies are unaffected by individual poem features – though strategies
might well change with poems much longer than Toen wij and Krik.
Run-through lengths are shown in Figure 49 (again using tape-units per com-
mon lexical item to exclude poem-size effects). Here, as at Draft level, differences
between poems are relatively minor overall, and the occasional major differences
seem again due to differences in intrinsic form.0.002.004.006.008.0010.0012.0014.0016.0018.0020.0022.0024.00RT1 RT2 RT3 R T4
