    Annotation:

    This article examines the interaction of language in relation to metrical form in kalevalaic epic poetry. It presents and elaborates the concept of a linguistic multiform as a compositional framework and unit of expression that is distinguishable from an oral-poetic formula and operates according to different parameters of variation. Multiform theory provides a basis for addressing the conservatism and variation of kalevalaic epics..
