scansion
This term is highly specialized, used almost exclusively within the fields of literary criticism, linguistics, and poetry. It describes the technical process of mapping out the stressed and unstressed syllables of a verse to uncover its rhythmic pattern. Because it is a technical procedure, it carries a clinical, analytical connotation rather than an artistic one.
As an uncountable noun in most contexts, it refers to the general practice or the specific act of analysis. While one might refer to a particular instance of scansion, it does not typically function as a countable object in the way a poem or a stanza does.
