Abstract(s)
Winter's law is one of the important accentual laws of the Balto-Slavic period. Its reality is now established and acknowledged by most scholars, although some still reject its existence or point to its problematicity. The aim of this paper is to show that the behavior of certain blocking consonants which prohibit the operation of Winter's law can be described by Optimality Theory.
Výjimky z Winterova zákona způsobené ztrátou rázu před neznělým obstruentem v konsonantických skupinách v baltoslovanštině (ve smyslu Kortlandtovy teorie) je zde popsán jako interakce laryngálních constraintů pomocí teorie optimality. Na ztrátu rázu v konsonantických skupinách je aplikována teorie asimilace znělosti Lindy Lombardi.
