Cette étude de métrique stylistique veut démontrer que, si la rime en tant que retour de sonorités identiques appartient uniquement à la poésie moderne, les poètes grecs et latins disposent néanmoins d’une gamme de schémas verbaux spécifiques pour conclure leurs vers. Cela permet d’établir une hiérarchie de clausules, plus ou moins pratiquées selon les époques, les genres littéraires, les scènes, dans deux des vers les plus fréquents du théâtre antique, le trimètre et le sénaire iambiques. Il s’agit d’un véritable répertoire des fins de vers dans lequel le poète peut puiser. D’Archiloque jusqu’à Phèdre, d’Athènes jusqu’à Rome, cette étude parcourt les multiples étapes de cette évolution, en mettant l’accent sur les points communs et les divergences des deux traditions poétiques, la grecque et la latine. / Although rhyme, as a refrain of identical sounds, belongs only to modern poetry, this study of stylistic metrics aims to demonstrate that Greek and Latin poets have a range of specific verbal patterns at the verse-end. This allows to establish a hierarchy of clausulae, varying according to epochs, literary genres, scenes, in two of the most frequent verses of the ancient drama, namely iambic trimeter and the senarius. It is a veritable repertory of the poet can draw on. From Archilochus to Phaedrus, from Athens to Rome, this study goes through the many stages of this evolution, focusing on commonalities and divergences of the two poetic traditions, Greek and Latin.

Studies have shown that linguistic and perceptual constraints are important for speech processing. First, rule-like structures are more easily learned over vowels than over consonants. Second, sequences varying in pitch and duration are grouped following the Iambic – Trochaic Law (ITL). In this research, I investigated the origins of these linguistic and perceptual constraints. My aim was to test if vowels’ acoustic saliency was the reason why they are the preferred target for abstract computations, and to explore the extent to which the principles of the ITL come from evolutionary heritage or language experience. Results show that rats learn rules over consonants and vowels with the same ease, so saliency is insufficient to explain the asymmetries observed in humans. This also shows that animals share with humans the trochaic principle of the ITL, but they lack the iambic-grouping bias, which might rely on language experience. / Diversos estudios han encontrado que limitaciones perceptuales y de aprendizaje intervienen en el procesamiento del lenguaje. Primero, que el aprendizaje de reglas se realiza mejor sobre las vocales. Segundo, que secuencias alternando en frecuencia y duración son agrupadas siguiendo la Ley Yámbico-Trocaico (LYT). En esta investigación busqué esclarecer el origen de estas limitaciones lingüísticas y perceptuales. Mi objetivo fue estudiar si la preferencia por las vocales se debe a su prominencia acústica e investigar hasta qué punto la LYT es producto de la herencia evolutiva o de la experiencia lingüística. Los resultados muestran que las ratas computan reglas sobre vocales y consonantes, por lo que las asimetrías funcionales observadas en humanos no se explican por la saliencia acústica de las vocales. También sugieren que animales y humanos comparten el principio trocaico de la LYT, pero no el yámbico, el cual podría emerger tras años de experiencia con el lenguaje nativo.
