grbs-5391	Stephens, Laurence D.	Trends in the Prosodic Evolution of the Greek Choliamb	1985	15	.pdf	application/pdf	6162	234	53	Trend toward higher frequencies of final syllables long by nature at the end of the choliamb noted, proportionally more disyllables than the rest, and-as is clear from the table and as might be anticipated on morphological consid­ erations-disyllables have a higher rate of final Co VCo syllables than longer words. This procedure has been adopted because elementary considerations of Greek inflectional morphology indicate that there could be a correla­ tion between syllable structure and word length: e.g. final syllables long by nature are more common in the declensions of a- and o-stems than in the declension of consonant stems, while consonant stems-unlike a- and o-stems-are frequently a syllable longer in oblique cases.	cache/grbs-5391.pdf	txt/grbs-5391.txt
