Abstract

The article is devoted to the consideration of the specific characteristics of the traditional and modern Indo-Europeanistic approaches in understanding the accent-ablaut patterns and their inner-paradigmatic role in Proto-Indo-European. According to the traditional view, all PIE athematic stems were originally characterised by a general pattern of accent-ablaut alternation: in nominal as well as in verbal paradigms the stem was in the full grade and accented in strong forms, and the accent shifted to the ending, and the unstressed stem appeared in the zero-grade in week forms. However, there remain many deviations from the above principle which are not satisfacorily explained within the framework of the traditional theory. In modern Indo-European linguistics it is generally accepted that there are in fact a number of different accent-ablaut paradigms (accent-ablaut classes), showing different alternations between strong and week forms. The different accent-ablaut classes in PIE stand in a derivational relationship with one another: the language could derive new nouns or adjectives simply by shifting the accent and thereby changing the stem’s accent-ablaut class membership.
