THE PHONOLOGY OF OLD ENGLISH STRESS AND METRICA...

This book attempts to build a complete theory of stress in Old English. In particular  the
author tries to elucidate the relation  in that language  between stress placement and syllable
weight. Eventually  he finds that the syllable should be abandoned as the central notion of Old
English metrical phonology and replaced with the mora as an independent unit of phonological
quantity. These findings are then applied to a new  phonologically-based analysis of the rhythm
of Old English poetry.
