Barytonesis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Template:Short description In phonology, barytonesis, or recessive accent, is the shift of accent from the last or following syllable to any non-final or preceding syllable of the stem, as in John Donne's poetic line: but éxtreme sense hath made them desperate, the Balto-Slavic Pedersen's law and Aeolic Greek barytonesis.[1] In Biblical Hebrew grammar, barytonesis is called Script error: No such module "Lang". (Template:Translit, literally 'receding backwards').[2]
The opposite, the accent shift to the last syllable is called oxytonesis.[3]
