I wonder if approaches like this will work for poetry (or prose) from different cultures. I'd be especially interested to see if some of these techniques are effective on languages markedly different from English. (Maybe Chinese and Arabic?)



For that, they should consider the underlying universal metrics (or meters) instead of the local languages, along the path derived by Prof Nigel Fabb in the UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meter-Poetry-Theory-Nigel-Fabb/dp/0... of which you have a review here https://web.stanford.edu/~kiparsky/Papers/fabb_halle_review....
