- Title
Winter's Law again.
- Authors
Kortlandt, Frederik
- Abstract
The author discusses the inability of a preceding vowel in an accentuated syllabic nucleus to be lengthened due to glottalization in the Winter's law process. He states that the vocalic length in Balto-Slavic linguistic unity can yield short or long vowels in separate languages if glottalization is merged with the glottalic reflex of Indo-European laryngeals. The author notes that the Winter's law has difficulty intervening in the reduplicated state of a Balto-Slavic paradigm.
