Slavic Prosody : Language Change and Phonological Theory Paperback / softback
by Christina Y. (State University of New York) Bethin
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Linguistics series
Paperback / softback
Description
In Slavic Prosody, first published in 1998, Professor Bethin gives a coherent account of the Slavic languages at the time of their differentiation and relates these developments to issues in phonological theory.
First Professor Bethin argues that the syllable structure of Slavic changed before the fall of the jers and suggests that intrasyllabic and intersyllabic reorganization in Late Common Slavic was far more significant for Slavic prosody than the loss of weak jers.
She then makes a case for the existence of a bisyllabic prosodic domain in Late Common Slavic and trochaic metrical organization.
Finally, she explores the implications of Slavic data for phonological theory, discussing sonority, skeletal structure, the representation of length and prominence, and language typology in some detail.
