This dataset provides replication data for the third chapter of the monograph "La Disparition de l'accent de mot : Étude de la prosodie du français en diachronie" (Rainsford 2026). The chapter analyses the the rhythm of medieval French verse and the dataset contains metrically annotated data from 75 short extracts of medieval verse texts in addition to a number of "pseudo-lines" extracted from medieval prose texts. The R script is commented throughout, generates all figures and performs all statistical analyses described in the chapter. The datasets were extracted from the Corpus Métrique de l'ancien français (CorMétAF) (https://github.com/rainsfordtm/cormetaf).

Modern editions of medieval texts with varying degrees of critical intervention. Please refer to the source corpus for details.
