Joaquín Sabina, el ingenio en verso: una exploración de las implicaciones humorísticas de su métrica poética

Humor finds a fertile and multifaceted ground in the lyrics of Joaquín Sabina. This study explores the role of metrics (verses, stanzaic forms, rhymes, enjambments, etc.) in his humorous compositions, addressing questions such as: Do his most comedic songsadhere to specific meters or rhymes? Are there playful rhymes or enjambments? What is the relationship between humor and metrics in his work?Based on a manual analysis of his entire song corpus, a subcorpus of his humorous compositions was identified. Subsequently, using automated tools to analyze metrics, rhyme, and other formal characteristics of verse, such as enjambment, this study seeks toanswer these questions. The aim is to demonstrate how poetic structures play a decisive role in constructing humor in the lyrics of the singer-songwriter from Úbeda.
