This book demonstrates that accentual phenomena are particularly vulnerable to language-contact change, and presents a survey of the typological and comparative literature on areal and language-contact aspects of accentuation and accentual change. The author shows how the tendency for accentual change in language contact can be found around the world and across a broad assortment of settings, particularly in the way that tonal systems tend to give way to pitch-accent and stress-accent systems. He also analyses problems specific to prehistoric Northwestern Europe, amongst the Germanic, Celtic, Finnish and Lappish languages. Exploring the question of a shared Celtic-Germanic accent shift in some detail, he presents an original proposal for a shared Celtic-Germanic accentual system, which has fundamental implications for Proto-Germanic.
