Shortening, Lengthening, and Reconstruction: Notes on Historical Slavic Accentology

The paper is a part of an ongoing discussion on various topics of historical Slavic accentology with Frederik Kortlandt. The topics discussed in the paper are: the reflex of the Proto- Slavic short neo-acute in Kajkavian ; the reflex of pretonic and posttonic length in West and South Slavic ; the reconstruction of the ending *-ъ in Slavic genitive plural, its accentuation, and the ending -ā in Štokavian and Slovene ; the lengthening of the bȏg ‘god’ and kȍkōt ‘rooster’ type in Western South Slavic ; the *obőrna ‘defense’ and *čьrnĩna ‘blackness’ type accent and retractions of contractional neo-circumflexes ; the reflex of Slavic *ò in Slovak and Czech monosyllables ; and the valence theory and Proto-Indo-European origin of Balto-Slavic accentuation.
