The purpose of the present research is to reveal the common collocation patterns in the second half-line (b-verse) of major Middle English (ME) alliterative verse, which may prove the formulaic use of certain lexical combinations. Various scholars of ME verse have suggested the special relationship between speech rhythm and the metrical structure of the verse line. As to the formulaic composition of ME alliterative poetry, however, only limited research is available. There is much to investigate before we can reach a solid conclusion regarding the use of formulaic expressions in ME alliterative verse. The relatively meager situation itself proves that ME formulas are not so conspicuous as Old English formulas. In order to define the role of formulaic expressions or even to decide that ME alliterative verse uses formulas as a device, we need to accumulate quantitative data in a systematic manner.This research has analyzed the corpora of ME alliterative verse from a metrical-syntactic perspective. It has been confirmed that the analysis illuminates interesting relationships among lexical items under metrical constraints. Special attention has been paid to the second half-line because, as Oakden claims, formulaic expressions may be detected relatively easily in it, and the second half-line is known to be highly structured by precise metrical rules. The analysis of the syntactic and metrical compositions of common syntactic patterns used in the second half-line offers answers to the questions why these expressions can be considered formulaic and whether applying the method of analysis used for the present analysis to the entire body of ME alliterative poems is beneficial.

本研究的目的是揭示主要中古英语（ME）头韵诗句后半行（b-verse）中常见的搭配模式，这可能证明某些词汇组合的公式化使用。许多研究 ME 诗句的学者都提出了言语节奏与诗行格律结构之间的特殊关系。然而，对于ME头韵诗的程式化写作，目前的研究还很有限。在我们就 ME 头韵诗中公式化表达的使用得出可靠的结论之前，还有很多事情需要调查。相对贫乏的情况本身就证明ME公式并不像古英语公式那么引人注目。为了明确公式表达的作用，甚至确定ME头韵诗以公式为手段，我们需要系统地积累定量数据。本研究从韵律句法的角度对ME头韵诗语料进行了分析。已经证实，该分析阐明了在格律限制下词汇项目之间有趣的关系。第二半行受到了特别关注，因为正如奥克登所说，公式化的表达可以相对容易地在其中被检测到，并且众所周知，第二半行是由精确的格律规则高度结构化的。对后半行常用句法模式的句法和格律构成的分析，回答了为什么这些表达可以被认为是公式化的问题，以及将本分析所用的分析方法应用于整个 ME 头韵诗是否有益的问题。
