Ancient Greek Accentuation: Synchronic Patterns, Frequency Effects, and Prehisto

Description: Ancient Greek Accentuation by Philomen Probert Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description As well as giving a better understanding of the history of Greek accentuation, this study yields insights into aspects of Indo-European accentuation and into the effects of word frequency on language change. Publisher Description The accent of many Greek words has long been considered arbitrary, but Philomen Probert points to some striking correlations between accentuation and a words synchronic morphological transparency, and between accentuation and word frequency, that give clues to the prehistory of the accent system. Bringing together comparative evidence for the Indo-European accentuation of the relevant categories with recent insights into the effects that loss of transparency andword frequency have on language change, Probert uses the synchronically observable correlations to bridge the gap between the accentuation patterns reconstructable for Indo-European and those directlyattested for Greek from the Hellenistic period onwards. Author Biography Philomen Probert is University Lecturer in Classical Philology and Linguistics, and Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford.
