The Phonology of Old English Stress and Metrical Structure by Piotr Gasiorowski

£3266
+
This book attempts to build a complete theory of stress in Old English. In particular the author tries to elucidate the relation in that language between stress placement and syllable weight. Eventually he finds that the syllable should be abandoned as the central notion of Old English metrical phonology and replaced with the mora as an independent unit of phonological quantity. These findings are then applied to a new phonologicallybased analysis of the rhythm of Old English poetry.
