Bad Theory, Wrong Conclusions: M. Halle on Slavic Accentuation (original) (raw)
2003, Dutch Contributions to the Thirteenth Annual Congress …
AI-generated Abstract
The paper critically evaluates M. Halle's recent work on Slavic accentuation, arguing that his conclusions are flawed due to a lack of engagement with existing literature and empirical evidence. The author asserts that Halle misrepresents historical developments and processes in Slavic linguistics, notably regarding Dybo's law and vowel shortening. The critique highlights the absence of progress in Halle's scholarship over the past two decades, pointing to significant errors and misconceptions that impede meaningful research in the field.

Rise and fall of vowel length in Slavic
My observation that Mate Kapović’s ideas about Slavic accentuation lack a chronological perspective has evoked a furious reaction. Here I limit myself to the five topics that he apparently found most difficult to appreciate: pretonic vowel length, the genitive plural, monosyllabic lengthening, length in medial syllables, and length in Czech monosyllables. In spite of his overwhelming rhetoric, Kapović’s diatribe has not produced any new insights but only revealed the paucity of his conceptual framework. There is no viable alternative to the theory of Slavic accentuation that I proposed 45 years ago.
On shortening, lengthening, and accent shifts in Slavic, RIHJJ 43/2: 381–402
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.

Pedersen’s law and the rise of distinctive tone in Baltic and Slavic
According to Pedersen’s law, the accent was retracted in Lith. acc.sg. dùkterį ‘daughter’ < *duktèrim, Greek θυγατέρα, and similar word forms. A reconsideration of the Balto-Slavic accent laws opened the way to explain the origin of Dybo’s “dominant” suffixes on the basis of Derksen’s end-stressed paradigms. Generalization of the Low tone of pretonic syllables to barytone forms of mobile accent paradigms gave rise to Olander’s “unaccented word-forms” with distinctive Low tone on the initial syllable. The rise of distinctive tone in Slavic originated from the extension of Pedersen’s law. In East Baltic, tonal contours came into being when the stress was retracted from prevocalic *-ì- and final *-à, yielding a rising tone that caused metatony in the preceding syllable. The rise of tonal contours in East Baltic has an interesting parallel in the development of the Franconian tone accents. Unlike Lithuanian and Latvian, Prussian had a quantitative but no tonal distinction in the vowel system.
