Uppläst fri vers upptar mycket liten plats inom den fonetiska och talteknologiska forskningen. Syntetiska modeller har ännu inte utarbetats för uppläst fri vers, troligen på grund av att det är svårt att fastställa poetiska effekter.

It seems like Swedish municipalities are dominated by beliefs that all citizen participation is good for the development of local democracy. A critic of this certainty is rising among Swedish scholars of political science. However, a critic with an ambition of such generalization is harsh.
