Stressing the Past: Papers on Baltic and Slavic Accentology.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Olander, Thomas / Larsson, Jenny Helena, PUBLISHER: Rodopi, From a synchronic point of view, ong>theong> various accentuation systems found in ong>theong> Baltic and Slavic languages differ considerably from each oong>theong>r. We find languages with free accent and languages with fixed accent, languages with and without syllabic tones, and languages with and without a distinction between short and long vowels. Yet despite ong>theong> apparent diversity in ong>theong> attested Baltic and Slavic languages, ong>theong> sources from which ong>theong>se languages have developed - ong>theong> reconstructed languages referred to as Proto-Baltic and Proto-Slavic respectively - seem to have had very similar accentuation systems. ong>Theong> prehistory and development of ong>theong> Baltic and Slavic accentuation systems is ong>theong> main topic of this book, which contains sixteen articles on Baltic and Slavic accentology written by some of ong>theong> world's leading specialists in this field.
