Abstract

Ancient Greek accentuation has been notoriously difficult to categorize comprehensively. We set out a new model which we believe is the first fully comprehensive account that formally treats nominal accentuation as approximations of recessive accentuation. This is done using Direct OT, according to which morphemes are represented by the constraints they violate.

Keywords: Greek, accentuation, nominal
