Notes

1 The interpretation of Meillet’s Law as a sound law is not however original with J; see Garde Citation1976, 199, 441 n. 272 and Olander Citation2009, 130–31 with other refs.

2 This question is also raised by Olander (Citation2018, 100).

3 See among others Halle and Vergnaud Citation1987, 109ff., Halle and Idsardi Citation1995, Halle Citation1997, Kiparsky Citation2010, Kim Citation2013, as well as Garde Citation1976 and the works of Dybo and other scholars of the Moscow Accentological School (e.g. Dybo Citation1981, Dybo, Zamjatina, and Nikolaev Citation1990).

4 I follow Garde (Citation1976, 55) in reserving the term “dominant” for such suffixes, whose accentual specification overrides those of the stem to which they attach (“Deaccentuation”, cf. Kiparsky and Halle Citation1977, 210).

5 See e.g. Embick Citation2010; the same difficulty has been pointed out in the review of Mondon (Citation2018).

6 See the useful overview of Villanueva Svensson 2018, 149–52.

7 On the last three of these, see Villanueva Svensson 2018, 155–56, 157.
