Ancient Greek, elision, accent, metrical structureAbstract
This study focuses on the modifications caused by elision in Ancient Greek prosodic structure. It is shown that elision not only changes the position of accent in oxytones. More accurately, elision carries out the systematic redistribution of the words surface metrical features. Such redistribution changes word size (number of syllables), as well as class (type according to tone position) and prosodic value (orthotonesis).
