Ancient Greek Accentuation - Synchronic Patterns, Frequency Effects, and Prehistory (Hardcover)

The accent of many Greek words has long been considered arbitrary,
but Philomen Probert points to some striking correlations between
accentuation and a word's 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 and word 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 directly attested for Greek from the Hellenistic period
onwards.
