analysis.feet.Foot

analysis.feet.Foot(self, pattern, label, head, is_substituted, slots, sylls)

A metrical foot: a VIEW grouping the syllables it spans (iamb/trochee/anapest/ dactyl/spondee/bare/extrametrical). NOT a tree entity — a syllable keeps its one real parent (its WordForm) — so a Foot is an orthogonal grouping over a parse. Iterating a Foot yields its syllable units, duck-typed (SyllData from the parser, Syllable from a manual Parse(line, scansion)), so accessing feet never forces entity construction.

Attributes: pattern (‘wws’), label (‘anapest’), head (‘rising’/‘falling’/ ‘none’/‘ambiguous’), is_substituted (inverts the line head), slots (ParseSlots), sylls (the syllable units).
