- Summary:
- The aim of this book is to establish prosodic reconstruction - especially of higher prosodic units such as the intonational or prosodic phrase - as a new subfield of historical-comparative linguistics. Incidentally, it develops a new model for capturing the prosodic structure also of modern languages and introduces a new method for prosodic reconstruction that is based on a general correspondence of prosodic with pragmatic units. Its main empirical focus lies on Ancient Greek and a well-defined subcorpus of Herodotus' Histories (Croesus logos, Hdt. 1.6-94).
