Theme

How were words accented in Proto-Indo-European (PIE) and in its ancient daughter languages? What was the relationship between word accent and ablaut — i.e., intramorphemic alternations in vowel quality ([e] : [o]) and quantity ([Vː] : [V] : [∅]) — in these languages? These two questions, understood in broad terms, constitute the theme of this workshop. To facilitate our discussion, we have collected below a number of relatively recent articles and book chapters that address these questions, which workshop participants and attendees are encouraged to consult.
