Open questions in ancient Greek phonology: some new evidence from enclitics by Probert, P

“…Roussou and Probert (2023: 235–297) put forward some new discoveries bearing on the accentuation of sequences of consecutive ancient Greek enclitics, and a new descriptive claim as to the way in which host words plus sequences of consecutive enclitics were accented. This chapter takes some first steps towards a new account of Greek metrical phonology from which the proposed descriptive facts would follow, and argues that doing so helps us with three open questions in ancient Greek phonology: (a) What phonological principles underly the placement of the Greek word accent, including the restrictions known as the “law of limitation”? …”

The analytic of concepts by Gomes, A, Stephenson, A
