On shortening, lengthening, and accent shifts in Slavic

Članak se bavi s nekoliko problemâ slavenske povijesne akcentologije – prednaglasnom dužinom u naglasnoj paradigmi c (i b) u južno- i zapadnoslavenskom, fenomenom neocirkumfleksa (uključujući i naglasak genitiva množine), duženjem tipa kȍkōt u čakavskom, naglaskom u riječima tipa ograda u slavenskom, odrazom praslavenskog *ò u češkim jednosložnim riječima (tj. riječima tipa kůň ‘konj’), kao i određenim naglasnim pomacima (npr. onim u naglasnoj paradigmi b). Autor kritizira često neodržive stavove Frederika Kortlandta oko ovih problema, kao i određene problematične aspekte njegova akcentološkoga modus operandi.The paper deals with several problems of Slavic historical accentology – pretonic length in the accentual paradigm c (and b) in South and West Slavic, the neo-circumflex phenomenon (including the accent in the genitive plural), the kȍkōt ‘rooster’ type lengthening in Čakavian, the ograda ‘fence’ type accent in Slavic, the reflex of Proto-Slavic *ò in Czech monosyllables (kůň ‘horse’ type words), as well as certain accent shifts (like the one in accentual paradigm b). The author criticizes the often untenable positions of Frederik Kortlandt on these issues, together with certain problematic aspects of his accentological modus operandi
