The target of this paper is to analyze the structural and rhetorical principles that seem tobe emblematic of extempore composition in all three of these rhymed forms of oral poetry.1 Theanalysis focuses on the methods that improvisers employ in the construction of end rhymepatterns and in structuring the semantic hierarchy of verse units in the spontaneous compositionof verses in these traditions.
