{"product_id":"ancient-greek-accentuation-philomen-probert-9780199279609","title":"Ancient Greek Accentuation: Synchronic Patterns, Frequency Effects, and Prehistory","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philomen Probert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199279608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199279609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Philomen Probert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054705537279,"sku":"9780199279609","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0b1c95e-ede9-4ad0-9d32-d0cf37a8e3e0.jpg?v=1685031511","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ancient-greek-accentuation-philomen-probert-9780199279609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
