Linguistics 603: Topics in Phonology
Topic for Fall 1998: Indo-European Accentology
Linguistics 603, Topics in Phonology, is an advanced graduate level
seminar focusing on some aspects of phonological theory. The goal
of this fall's course is to apply tools from theoretical phonology in the
analysis of the accentual systems of a selection of Indo-European languages
and families, with the ultimate objective of providing a reconstruction
of the grammar of Proto-Indo-European accent and an explication of how
this grammar evolved variously in the daughter languages. This course
should be of interest both to theoretical phonologists and to Indo-Europeanists.
Prerequisites. Linguistics 530 (Phonology I) or equivalent.
Some familiarity with comparative Indo-European linguistics helpful.
