Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical and Critical Remarks: Introductory to a Comparative Study of Greek Accent Accent is a universal phenomenon in language, and one which is in close union with what is treated by grammar under the head of sound or phonology. The sounds of a word without accent are merely separate stones which accent cements into a linguistic entity, either a word or a sentence. W. V. Humboldt says: 'The unity of the word is produced by the accent. This, by itself, is of a more spiritual nature than the sounds, and it is therefore called the soul of speech, not only because it is really the element which carries intelligibility into speech, but because it is, more than other factors in speech, the immediate expression of feeling' (cited by Gottling, Accent der griechischen Sprache, p. 8). The word accent in modern terminology is unfortunately compelled to do duty for more than one linguistic fact. First, in the case of the word, it signifies the relative stress and pitch characteristics of its various syllables, with no restriction to that syllable which has the strongest stress or the highest pitch. This is the most scientific function of the word. A closer study of the life of the word cannot be satisfied with a theoretical analysis of its sounds and syllables and a superficial recognition as to which of the syllables has the highest pitch or strongest stress, but it must be known also in what way or to what extent this syllable is elevated above those surrounding it. This definition of accent has necessarily to be kept apart from that other more familiar one by which, in the current parlance of grammar, the pitch or stress of the most accented syllable is designated. This, of course, is not all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Ancient Greek Accentuation written by Philomen Probert and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
