Or more precisely from advent of the gramaphone and "talkies" until today. I am geussing it is 4 beats per measure, but why? I am asking with respect to how iambic pentameter could have become predominant back in the day, if poetic meter is ultimately derived from musical time, as that would mean time signature of 5/4 (?) which today is considered a little odd.
Also, (unrelated) but what is that word that means something like "the frequency of unique words used in anyone work, body of work. for example, how many unique words did WS use in midsummer nights dream? (its usually expressed as a ratio i think) . There's some obscure word that is specific to this idea, and someone used it on physicsforums, that's how i heard of it. ?? thanks someone
