Workshop on Indo-European Accentology (March 2010)

March 24-26, 2010
Göttingen, Germany
Workshop description

One of the major achievements in the field of Indo-European studies in recent decades has been the development of a full-fledged theory of Indo-European stress. Today, most students of PIE accentology adhere to the so-called "Erlangen model" or one of its various and competing derivatives.

The aim of the workshop is to take a fresh look at central issues of PIE accentology and to re-evaluate the current proposals by combining a close look at the evidence with insights from typology and phonological theory.
The main issues and aims of the workshop will be to

  • review the evidence

  • develop criteria for determining the probability of reconstructed stress patterns

  • reconsider the relation between stress and ablaut

  • take a close look at internal derivation and its implications for the theory

  • try to reconcile IE accentology with recent developments in metrical theory


    • Further participants are welcome. If you are interested in attending the workshop, please contact a member of the organizing committee.
